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.
FAIR Supporting Resources Types
There are different types of FSRs for which we use different nanopub templates.
Definition: A method description detailing the use of a specific resource or a combination of resources as applied by a community to achieve FAIR processing of information.
IRI
Definition: A FAIR Implementation Community (FIC) is a self-identified collection of people and/or organizations with the aim to implement the FAIR Principles.
IRI
Definition: A policy that specifies and guides FAIR data practices for a community.
Definition: A template guiding data stewardship including how FAIR Principles should be implemented. The template must be completed with project-specific information in any given instance to outline how data are to be handled in preparation for the project, during the research project, and after the project is completed.
Definition: A document stating the accumulated training qualifications and FAIR outputs authored by or contributed to, by that person. The profile may be augmented with additional statements regarding professional roles and skills.
Definition: A meeting specifically designed for current or aspiring data stewards to provide a rigorous understanding of the FAIR principles from theory to their concrete implementation.
Definition: Any educational resource (such as the content or its published representation in text, presentation graphics, or video) that covers FAIR topics of interest.
Definition: Any online accessible software system or component that supports the implementation of the FAIR Principles.
Definition: A service that provides for any digital object (1) algorithms guaranteeing global uniqueness, (2) policy document that guarantees persistent and (3) resolution of the identifier to machine-actionable metadata describing the object and its location.
Definition: A service that mediates access to digital objects according to specifed conditions.
Definition: A service that indexes metadata and data and provides search over that index.
Definition: A service that provides a user-friendly interface for easy editing of metadata, vocabularies or crosswalks.
Definition: An Application Programming Interface (API) for the World Wide Web that allows different software applications to communicate with each other.
Definition: A system that automatically verifies the accuracy, completeness, or compliance of data, code or processes against predefined criteria or standards.
Definition: A system that systematically captures, stores and manages detailed information about the origin, history, and lifecycle of digital objects creating metadata based on a provenance model.
Definition: A precise description of features, requirements, constraints and recommendations for a specific implementation of a component, system or service supporting the implementation of the FAIR principles.
Definition: A specification that specifies the structured representation of metadata describing attributes of data or other digital objects in terms of semantics, syntax and optionality.
Definition: A specification that provides a unique, persistent, (ideally) bi-directional, machine-actionable link between metadata and the data they describe.
Definition: A specification for a controlled list of uniquely identified and unambigous concepts with their definitions represented using web standards.
Definition: A specification that defines qualified relations between entities describing data or other digital objects according to the Linked Data principles. This can include semantic data models and ontologies.
Definition: A specification that specifies metadata describing the origin and lineage of data or other digital objects.
Definition: A specification consisting of a set of rules that define how (meta)data elements or attributes from one schema can be aligned and mapped to (meta)data elements or attributes in another schema that share the same constraints and thus share the same semantic role.
Definition: A Semantic Interoperability Profil (SIP) is a list of FAIR Supporting Resources chosen by a community to support semantic interoperability of (meta)data.
Definition: A service, a specification or a data policy that is essential to the operationalization of the FAIR Principles, i.e., puts FAIR into action. A FAIR-Enabling Resource (FER) provides a function needed to achieve some aspect of FAIR behavior and is explicitly linked to one or more FAIR principles.
Definition: A service that provides for any digital object (1) algorithms guaranteeing global uniqueness, (2) policy document that guarantees persistent and (3) resolution of the identifier to machine-actionable metadata describing the object and its location.
Definition: A specification that specifies the structured representation of metadata describing attributes of data or other digital objects in terms of semantics, syntax and optionality.
Definition: A specification that provides a unique, persistent, (ideally) bi-directional, machine-actionable link between metadata and the data they describe.
Definition: A service that indexes metadata and data and provides search over that index.
Definition: A service that mediates access to digital objects according to specifed conditions.
Definition: A data policy that describes the conditions under which metadata should be provided in the future.
Definition: A specification for a controlled list of uniquely identified and unambigous concepts with their definitions represented using web standards.
Definition: A specification that defines qualified relations between entities describing data or other digital objects according to the Linked Data principles. This can include semantic data models and ontologies.
Definition: A specification that specifies metadata describing the origin and lineage of data or other digital objects.
Definition: A FAIR Implementation Profile (FIP) is a list of declared technology choices intended to implement each of the FAIR Guiding Principles, made as a collective decision by the members of a particular community of practice.
