FAIR-enabling and trustworthy data repositories play a central role in making and keeping data FAIR over time. While there is ongoing debate on what constitutes trustworthiness, there is broad agreement that transparency and evidence is essential to enable end users to make informed decisions about the repository services they use. In the scope of FAIR assessment, there are also steps to take in the findability of assessment information, and the exposure of assessment results. FAIR-IMPACT has developed guidelines to improve the transparency of, and trust in, repositories. In this support action, participants had the opportunity to learn about these new guidelines in depth, and to critically evaluate them as they applied them to their own repository and stakeholders.
This FAIR Implementation Story outlines the specific aims and actions of Leibniz-Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in relation to their participation in the support action.
