Monitor other working groups for FAIR principles

[bkuczenski]

The FAIR principles for "Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable" data products are as follows:

To be Findable:

• [ ] F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier
• [ ] F2. data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below)
• [ ] F3. metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it describes
• [ ] F4. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource To be Accessible:
• [ ] A1. (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communications protocol
• [ ] A1.1 the protocol is open, free, and universally implementable
• [ ] A1.2 the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization procedure, where necessary
• [ ] A2. metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available To be Interoperable:
• [ ] I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation.
• [ ] I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles
• [ ] I3. (meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data To be Reusable:
• [ ] R1. meta(data) are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes
• [ ] R1.1. (meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license
• [ ] R1.2. (meta)data are associated with detailed provenance
• [ ] R1.3. (meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards

We need to select a subset of these objectives to (a) define in the context of the hackathon and (b) ensure the other groups are attaining them.

For Rusability and tables we could say we follow the frictionless data package, including the csv dialect. Validating the descriptor ensures some degree of data quality (e.g. non repeated rows or unexpected data types). That would also include the issues we mentioned about separators, and null values.

Apart from the minimum I suggest we add provenance (R1.2) of the data and license (R1.1). What do you think?

what scapes me is how we document the n-n n-1 1-n issues
