2. To be Findable
F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier
F2. data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below)
F3. metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it
describes
F4. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource
To be Accessible
A1. (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communications protocol
A1.1 the protocol is open, free, and universally implementable
A1.2 the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization procedure, where necessary
A2. metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available
To be Interoperable
I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation
I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles
I3. (meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data
To be Reusable
R1. meta(data) are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes
R1.1. (meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license
R1.2. (meta)data are associated with detailed provenance
R1.3. (meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards

5. FAIR DATA ADVANCED USE CASES: FROM PRINCIPLES TO
PRACTICE IN THE NETHERLANDS
Implementing FAIR is seen as a series of
improvements
‘Going for FAIR’ is done one step at a time.
Steps that focus on Findability and
Accessibility are often taken up first.
There are always steps ahead that can
improve FAIR-ness even further. Machine
readability is sometimes one of those next
steps.http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1250535

6. FAIR DATA ADVANCED USE CASES: FROM PRINCIPLES TO
PRACTICE IN THE NETHERLANDS
Implementing FAIR is seen as a series of
improvements
The importance of machine readable data is
acknowledged in all use cases, but for less
data driven communities there is a tendency
to focus on human interoperability first.
Full compliancy with the FAIR principles is
not seen as easy to achieve, if possible at all.

“It will be hard to achieve other aspects
of FAIR without globally unique and
persistent identifiers”

8. • Identifiers can help other people understand exactly
what you mean;
• Identifiers allow computers to interpret your data in a
meaningful way (i.e., computers that are searching for
your data or trying to automatically integrate them);
• In addition, identifiers will help others to properly cite
your work when reusing your data.

15. There are multiple PID systems:
• Archival Resource Keys (ARKs)
• Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)
• Handle
• OpenURL
• Persistent Uniform Resource Locators (PURLs)
• Uniform Resource Names (URNs)
Each system has its own particular properties, strengths
and weaknesses. Which system is most suited to your
situation depends.

16. The PID Guide from
the Digital Heritage
Network’s Persistent
Identifier
project helps you
learn and think about
important PID
subjects, and guides
your first steps
towards selecting a
PID system.

“The rationale behind this principle is that someone should
be able to find data based on the information provided by
their metadata, even without the data’s identifier.”

“If the availability of a digital resource such as a dataset,
service or repository is not known, then nobody (and no
machine) can discover it. There are many ways in which
digital resources can be made discoverable, including
indexing.”
https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/

28. “It is not enough to make collections available
through web based end user interfaces and provide
download options for individual objects and metadata
records.
On the contrary: collection data and objects must be
findable (..) for people and software in their entirety
and in specific parts”

• Has a PID
• Wants to:
• Get associated metadata
• Parse metadata to determine if
data is relevant
• If yes: Download and process data

31. 4TUDATA for research
PID’s on a dataset level, plus metadata;
They added certain scripts to made it possible for large search
machines ( such as google) to index the content of their
repository.

32. “It is still widespread common practice to use internal
dedicated system identifiers which refer to both the
metadata record and the object described.
This type of internal identifier can be published on the
web using a URL based on the particular system or
domain, but it is not a global and persistent identifier,
because it depends on the specific system or
domain.”

33. Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual, secondary database,
collecting structured data to provide support for Wikimedia and anyone in
the world.
• One of the most edited knowledge bases which contains structured data
(RDF4 format);
• Serves as the data source for many projects in the Wikimedia sphere
and beyond;
• Increasingly growing in term of both its community and its content;
Wikidata can act as a point of convergence for data from different
vocabularies and ontologies;
• Lot’s of Wiki data research projects;

and many others…

38. When visiting scholarly portals, readers can easily figure out landing pages,
links to bibliographic records, authorship, etc. But, because portals use
different conventions to convey such patterns, machines have a hard time
finding their way around.

There is very little interoperability among scholarly
portals on the web. Most portals focus on access
via the user interface.

39. As a portal administrator or operator of scholarly
infrastructure, you can change that by
implementing some of the Signposting patterns
listed on this site. Doing so will allow machines to
navigate scholarly portals in a uniform manner.
Which will lead to applications that make things
easier for readers too.

FAIR takes effort, but it is worth it
It takes effort to get to a certain level of
FAIR-ness, but some use cases show
that once you have reached that level of
FAIR, a whole world of possibilities
opens.
