The FAIR Data Principles

This resource provides practical “how-to” guidance to go FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse) of digital assets.

Overview

In 2016, the ‘FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship’ were published in Scientific Data. The authors intended to provide guidelines to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. The principles emphasize machine-actionability because humans increasingly rely on computational support to deal with data as a result of the increase in volume, complexity, and creation speed of data.
