Summary

Describes the FAIR data principles:

  • Findable
  • Accessible
  • Interoperable
  • Reusable

Emphasizes that data must be FAIR for humans and computers. Goal:

for scholarly digital objects of all kinds to become ‘first class citizens’ in the scientific publication ecosystem, where the quality of the publication—and more importantly, the impact of the publication—is a function of its ability to be accurately and appropriately found, re-used, and cited over time, by all stakeholders, both human and mechanical.

Provides example of datasets not in centralized curated repositories that researcher wishes to compare -- how are they searched, filtered, integrated, cited?

Provides examples of FAIRness: Dataverse, FAIRDOM, ISA, Open PHACTS, wwPDB, UniProt.
