Technologies for a FAIRer use of Ocean Best Practices
The publication and dissemination of best practices in ocean observing is pivotal for multiple aspects
of modern marine science, including cross-disciplinary interoperability, improved reproducibility of
observations and analyses, and training of new practitioners. Often, best practices are not published
in a scientific journal and may not even be formally documented, residing solely within the minds of
individuals who pass the information along through direct instruction. Naturally, documenting best
practices is essential to accelerate high-quality marine science; however, documentation in a drawer
has little impact. To enhance the application and development of best practices, we must leverage
contemporary document handling technologies to make best practices discoverable, accessible, and
interlinked, echoing the logic of the FAIR data principles [1]
