Findable, Accessible, Interoperable og Reusable er hovedprincipperne i FAIR. Der er lidt mere til historien - i alt er der 15 principper der definerer egenskaber som data/metadata/infrastruktur skal have for at kunne findes og genbruges.

Eventyret "A FAIRy tale - A fake story in a trustworthy guide to the FAIR principles for research data" forklarer principperne ét for ét - på en både underholdende, faktuel og ikke mindst pædagogisk måde.

Download en illustration af forskningslivscyklussen her.

Oversigten nedenfor angiver hvilke faser i forskningslivscyklussen værktøjerne er beregnet på at blive brugt i:

  • Create: Indsaml eller generer nye data, fx via målinger eller undersøgelser.
  • Process/Analyze: Anvendelse af data til alle slags forskningsaktiviteter, inkl. digitalisering, konvertering og fortolkning.
  • Document: Tilføj kontekst til dataene, inkl. oprindelse og metadata.
  • Recycle: Genbrug tidligere output som input til ny analyse eller fortolkning, også i samarbejder.
  • Publish/Disseminate: Tilgængeliggør udvalgte datasæt mv. for andre forskere eller offentligheden.
  • Archive: Indlever udvalgte datasæt i systemer beregnet til langtidsbevaring.
  • Exploit: Lav forskning direkte på tidligere publicerede data.
  • Discover & Re-use: Brug tidligere publicerede data til ny forskning, fx fra offentlige databaser og repositorier.
  • Release: Giv adgang til rådata for at andre kan bruge dem.
  • Preserve: Bevar rådata i langtidslager.
  • Discard: Tilintetgør eller slet data, fx pga. juridiske eller kontraktuelle forhold. Dette forstås ikke som en FAIR proces og tages derfor ikke yderligere i betragtning.

Af tabellen fremgår også hvordan det enkelte værktøj indplacerer sig ift. FAIR dimensionerne. På den måde kan du bruge oversigten til at finde de rigtige værktøjer til at lave dine forskningsdata (mere) FAIR - afhængigt af de data du har, og hvad du vil gøre med dem.
