Webinar: FAIR Data Stewardship

Date: Monday, 10 July 2017, 3pm Central European Time

Duration: 60 min

Presenter:

Erik Schultes - FAIR Data Scientific Projects Lead at the Dutch Techcentre for Life Sciences https://www.dtls.nl and at the Human Genetics Department at the Leiden University Medical Center. Erik was a research biologist for 15 years and now focuses on the development of tools helping biologists create, find, access, annotate, and share life science data.

Content: FAIR is an acronym for data that is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable by humans and machines. The concept of FAIR Data was launched in a multi-stakeholder workshop hosted by the Lorentz Center in January 2014. By 2016, the original concept had been formulated into a set of 15 high-level principles <http://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618> that would lend themselves to implementation using new configurations of existing technologies and standards. Also by 2016, the idea of FAIR Data had begun to enjoy widespread uptake among the European Commission, the US National Institutes of Health and even the G20.

Erik presented an overview of the 15 principles, and state-of-the-art implementations of FAIR technology, data resources, and metrics for FAIRness. He also discussed the GO FAIR Initiative, a voluntary network of early movers in academic, government and industry working together to implement FAIR infrastructure and training as part of the European Open Science Cloud.
