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]
Building information modeling – A game changer for interoperability and a chance for digital preservation of architectural data?
Digital data associated with the architectural design-andconstruction
process is an essential resource alongside -and even
past- the lifecycle of the construction object it describes. Despite
this, digital architectural data remains to be largely neglected in
digital preservation research – and vice versa, digital preservation
is so far neglected in the design-and-construction process. In the
last 5 years, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has seen a
growing adoption in the architecture and construction domains,
marking a large step towards much needed interoperability. The
open standard IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is one way in
which data is exchanged in BIM processes. This paper presents a
first digital preservation based look at BIM processes,
highlighting the history and adoption of the methods as well as
the open file format standard IFC (Industry Foundation Classes)
as one way to store and preserve BIM data
