Recommendations for services in a FAIR data ecosystem
The development and growing adoption of the FAIR data principles and associated standards as a part of research policies and practices place novel demands on research data services. This article highlights common challenges and priorities and proposes a set of recommendations on how data infrastructures can evolve and collaborate to provide services that support the implementation of the FAIR data principles, in particular in the context of building the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The recommendations cover a broad area of topics, including certification, infrastructure components, stewardship, costs, rewards, collaboration, training, support, and data management. These recommendations were prioritized according to their perceived urgency by different stakeholder groups and associated with actions as well as suggested action owners. This article is the output of three workshops organized by the projects FAIRsFAIR, RDA Europe, OpenAIRE, EOSC-hub, and FREYA designed to explore, discuss, and formulate recommendations among stakeholders in the scientific community. While the results are a work-in-progress, the challenges and priorities outlined provide a detailed and unique overview of current issues seen as crucial by the community that can sharpen and improve the roadmap toward a FAIR data ecosystem
Recommendations for services in a FAIR data ecosystem
This report highlights common challenges and priorities, and proposes a set of initial recommendations on how existing data infrastructures can evolve and collaborate to provide services that support the implementation of the FAIR data principles, in particular in the context of building the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The report is an output of three workshops designed to explore, discuss and formulate such recommendations and is aimed at stakeholders in the scholarly world and particularly the EOSC Governance
From Conceptualization to Implementation: FAIR Assessment of Research Data Objects
Funders and policy makers have strongly recommended the uptake of the FAIR principles in scientific data management. Several initiatives are working on the implementation of the principles and standardized applications to systematically evaluate data FAIRness. This paper presents practical solutions, namely metrics and tools, developed by the FAIRsFAIR project to pilot the FAIR assessment of research data objects in trustworthy data repositories. The metrics are mainly built on the indicators developed by the RDA FAIR Data Maturity Model Working Group. The tools’ design and evaluation followed an iterative process. We present two applications of the metrics: an awareness-raising self-assessment tool and an automated FAIR data assessment tool. Initial results of testing the tools with researchers and data repositories are discussed, and future improvements suggested including the next steps to enable FAIR data assessment in the broader research data ecosystem
The TRUST Principles for digital repositories
As information and communication technology has become pervasive in our society, we are increasingly dependent on both digital data and repositories that provide access to and enable the use of such resources. Repositories must earn the trust of the communities they intend to serve and demonstrate that they are reliable and capable of appropriately managing the data they hold.
Following a year-long public discussion and building on existing community consensus1, several stakeholders, representing various segments of the digital repository community, have collaboratively developed and endorsed a set of guiding principles to demonstrate digital repository trustworthiness. Transparency, Responsibility, User focus, Sustainability and Technology: the TRUST Principles provide a common framework to facilitate discussion and implementation of best practice in digital preservation by all stakeholders.Puede accederse a una versión en español de este artÃculo haciendo clic en "Documentos relacionados".Servicio de Difusión de la Creación Intelectua
Los principios TRUST en los repositorios digitales
Con la adopción cada vez más generalizada de las TICs en nuestra sociedad, dependemos cada vez más de los datos digitales y de los repositorios que brindan acceso a ese tipo de recursos y nos permiten utilizarlos.
Los repositorios deben ganarse la confianza de las comunidades a las que pretenden brindar servicios y demostrar que son confiables y capaces de administrar adecuadamente los datos que contienen.
Tras un debate público que se prolongó durante un año y en función del consenso actual de la comunidad, varias partes interesadas, que representan diversos segmentos de la comunidad de los repositorios digitales, han colaborado para desarrollar y avalar un conjunto de principios rectores, para demostrar que el repositorio digital es confiable. Estos principios abarcan la Transparencia, la Responsabilidad, el Foco en el Usuario, la Sostenibilidad y la TecnologÃa, y presentan un marco común para facilitar el debate y la implementación de las mejores prácticas en cuanto a preservación digital en beneficio de todas las partes interesadas.Este artÃculo es una traducción de: Lin, D., Crabtree, J., Dillo, I., Downs, R.

CoreTrustSealCertified Repositories - iPRES 2019 Amsterdam
The preservation of research data to enable replication and reuse is critically dependent on efficient, effective and sustainable data stewardship by the research communities. The certification of trustworthy data repositories (TDRs) custodian organizations that ensure data stewardship and longterm preservation by means of a standard such as the CoreTrustSeal is an established and recognized procedure to support long-term access to reusable data. Likewise, the FAIR Guiding Principles and the developing FAIR metrics have largely codified the contemporary discourse and policies on research data management and stewardship. The proximity of objectives between the CoreTrustSeal certification of TDRs and the implementation of FAIR Principles calls for a close examination of their overlaps and complementarities. In particular, the concept of FAIR data cannot be detached from the characteristics of the data infrastructure, the environment in which FAIR data objects reside. It is therefore necessary to examine, under which circumstances the assessment of FAIRness should be carried out at collectionor repository-level, and to what extent CoreTrustSeal certification can be considered positioning TDRs as enabling FAIR data
