The FAIRification Template

The Template is not required but can be a helpful place to start, as it offers links to guidance for tasks commonly encountered across FAIRification efforts.

Course of action

Concrete tasks commonly encountered across FAIRification efforts. While the Template presents the different steps in a recommended logical sequence, not all steps will be required for, nor relevant to each FAIRification scenario.

Each step is linked to related capabilities across three dimensions: Hosting environment, Representation & format, and Content & context.

Hosting

Capabilities of the environment(s) where the research objects are hosted and made available for access and distributions. Exchange formats for the research objects are covered under Formats & representation, while APIs, indexing and query interfaces are covered here.
