2nd Workshop on Ontologies for FAIR and FAIR Ontologies (Onto4FAIR)

Making the resources produced by researchers fully reusable and understood requires specific efforts. The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles were elaborated to address these issues, describing a set of requirements for resource reusability and interoperability. These principles have been gaining increasing attention in a range of different areas and applications.

One the one hand, a key aspect is the ability of properly and semantically describing resources, in particular with the help of ontologies. On the other hand, ontologies themselves have to be compliant with the FAIR principles.

The workshop has the following goals:

• to bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to discuss the adoption of FAIR principles in research and real-world requirements
• to serve to inform about existing research efforts that may meet their requirements.
• to investigate how the FAIR principles are supported by the use of ontologies that ideally are themselves FAIR.
• to discuss the challenges and perspectives in adopting FAIR principles.
