FAIR tools and infrastructures

This dimension concerns the essential information technology tools and infrastructures needed to implement FAIR data principles. It is closely related to the “FAIR data” dimension of the maturity model. The close relationship between FAIR implementation and semantic web technologies underscores the significance of the tools required to implement the FAIR principles. Beyond these aspects, additional frameworks that can enhance the implementation of FAIR data principles, broadening the scope of considerations for a comprehensive approach, are considered.

FAIR indicators for tools

The FAIR tools and infrastructure dimension has an indicator for each element of FAIR. This indicator helps show the contribution the tool or infrastructure makes to the maturity level:

Findability The tool or infrastructure component contributes, enhances or enriches Findability.

Accessibility The tool or infrastructure component contributes, enhances or enriches Accessibility.

Reusability The tool or infrastructure component contributes, enhances or enriches Reusability.

Interoperability The tool or infrastructure component contributes, enhances or enriches Interoperability.
