Define and deliver on practical, achievable objectives across one or more release cycles to realise the overall FAIRification goal.

The practical phase of the FAIRification Process turns the selected FAIRification tasks into concrete changes. It brings together four connected activities: Pre-assessment, Design, Implementation and Post-assessment. The work may be completed as one bounded implementation effort or divided into several iterations where this is useful for managing scope, dependencies, resources or uncertainty.

  1. Pre-assessment
    Conducted at the beginning to clearly indicate the starting state, and being able to compare / contrast with the end state. Focusing on what is within scope of the team’s capabilities.
  2. Design
    During the design stage, concrete steps are identified to achieve the FAIRification tasks identified for this cycle. If needed, one could also use the concrete steps identified from the FAIRification template. These steps form the FAIRification workplan to be realised during the implementation stage.
  3. Implementation
    During this phase, the planned tasks are executed within the established timeframe. However, it is important to note that some tasks may remain incomplete, be postponed, or even abandoned during a given iteration.
  4. Post-assessment
    Assess the achieved state using the same criteria or comparable evidence as the pre-assessment. Compare the results with the starting state and agreed objectives to identify demonstrated FAIR improvements, remaining gaps and any further work required.

Process elements

Postconditions: Outputs ready for Review & report
  1. Assessment results indicate to what degree the requirements and gaps have been addressed.
  2. Final FAIR implementation design with underlying decisions and assumptions documented.
  3. Completion statuses, results and lessons learned from FAIRification work captured.
  4. Achieved state compared with the starting state using the agreed assessment approach.
  5. Remaining gaps and proposed follow-up work recorded.
Inputs: FAIRification roadmap
FAIRification roadmap: Current and projected states, requirements and gaps.
  • this → Design & implement: Used to inform scope, initial backlog and implementation design decisions
Outputs: FAIRification updates
FAIRification updates: Design decisions, FAIRification task tracker record and assessment reports from each iteration.
  • Design & implement → this: Outputs
  • this → Review & report: Used as basis for accountability and lessons learned
