FAIR Supporting Resource Nanopublications

FAIR Supporting Resources

A FAIR Supporting Resource (FSR) is a resource that supports the FAIRification or FAIR Orchestration of data and metadata. FSRs are identified with a GUPRI and have a machine-readable representation as a nanopublication which includes metadata about it.

A Nanopublication is a unitary assertion about the world with associated metadata, rendered in machine-readable form, and all of this having a globally unique, persistent and resolvable identifer.

See our new Nanopublication dashboard.

 

There are different types of FSRs for which we use different nanopub templates.

FAIR Supporting Resources Types

FAIR Data Policy

A data policy is a document that specifies and guides data practices for a community or an organizational entity. For a data policy to get recognized as a FAIR Supporting Resource it should be online accessible and cover at least one of these aspects:
- the document itself is machine-actionable and uses FAIR vocabulary

- it supports FAIR practices 

Examples: PARC FAIR Data Policy 

See ontological definition.

Publish a FAIR Data Policy.

FAIR Data Management Plan Template
FAIR Implementation Community

A FAIR Implementation Community (FIC) is a non-empty set of people and/or organizations that form a self-declared community with the aim to implement the FAIR principles for their fields of interest.

See ontological definition.

FAIR Connect Article

A FAIR Connect Article is a short-form narrative, ranging from 500 to 2000 words. It can be a FAIR Supporting Resource Description Article or a Commentary.

FAIR Enabling Resources

A FAIR Enabling Resource (FER) is FSR that provides functions needed to achieve some aspect of FAIRness addressing explicitly one or more FAIR Sub-Principle(s). Use this nanopublication template to publish any type of FER.

FAIR Enabling Resources Types

For each FAIR Sub-Principle there is a specific FAIR Enabling Resource Type.

Identifier Service

A service that provides for metadata (1) algorithms guaranteeing global uniqueness, (2) policy document that guarantees persistence and (3) resolution of the identifier to machine-actionable metadata describing the object and its location.

See ontological defintion.

Publish an Identifier Service nanopub.

Metadata Schema

A specification (schema) that defines metadata fields describing attributes of data or other digital objects.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Metadata Schema nanopub.

Metadata-Data Linking Schema

A specification that provides a unique, persistent, (ideally) bi-directional, machine-actionable link between metadata and the data they describe.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Registry nanopub.

Registry

A service that indexes metadata and data and provides search over that index.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Registry nanopub.

Communication Protocol

A Communication Protocol is a specification that defines how messages are structured and exchanged.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Communication Protocol nanopub.

Authentication and authorisation service

An Authentication and authorisation service is a  service that mediates access to digital objects according to specifed conditions.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Authentication and Authorisation Protocol nanopub.

Metadata Preservation Policy

A Metadata Preservation Policy is a document that describes the conditions under which metadata are to be provisioned in the future (generally part of a data management plan).

See ontological definition.

Publish a Metadata Preservation Policy nanopub.

Knowledge Representation Language

A Knowledge Representation Language is a a language specification whereby knowledge can be made processible by machines.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Knowledge Representation Language nanopub.

FAIR Vocabulary

A FAIR vocabulary is a specification of uniquely identified and unambigous concepts with their definitions represented preferably using web standards.

See ontological definition.

Publish a FAIR vocabulary nanopub.

Semantic Model

A Semantic Model is a specification that defines qualified relations between entities describing data or other digital objects using structured vocabularies.

See ontological definition.

Data Usage License

A Data Usage License is a document that describes the conditions under which a digital object can be legally used.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Data Usage License nanopub.

Provenance Model

A Provenance Model is a specification (schema) that defines metadata fields describing the origin and lineage of data or other digital objects.

See ontological definition.

Publish a Provenance Model nanopub.

FAIR Implementation Profile (FIP)

A FAIR Implementation Profile (FIP) is a list of declared technology choices, also referred to as  FAIR Enabling Resources (FERs), that are intended to implement one or more of the FAIR Guiding Principles, made as a collective decision by the members of a particular community of practice.

See ontological definition.
