Implementation & Adoption Stories

The FAIR-IMPACT Implementation stories illustrate good practices in research communities and organisations to support the implementation of the FAIR principles.

Implementation Story
TDR_-KU-Leuven
Benchmarking KU Leuven’s institutional data repository’s exposure of information on the repository’s trustworthiness
This FAIR Implementation Story outlines the specific aims and actions of KU Leuven in relation to their participation in the support action. In this support action successful applicants will have the opportunity to test the guidelines and receive guidance on exposing relevant metadata at the organisational and object level to facilitate discovery, provide context, and support interoperability.
Implementation Story
TDR_-Kazerne
Assessing the FAIRness of the data repository at a Holocaust memorial: the case of Kazerne Dossin – Memorial, Museum and Research Centre on Holocaust and Human Rights, Belgium

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.

Implementation Story
10.Tor_Vergata 1
Implementing the MOD-API in ShowVoc
As part of the work of WP4 on Metadata and Ontologies FAIR-IMPACT has established a draft specification of a candidate shared/standard API for SACs. The first version of this draft API is described in D4.3 Specification of shared metadata description of semantic artefacts and their catalogues including common reference API.

Getting ready for EOSC - Implementing MOD-API into TIB Terminology Service

As part of the work of WP4 on Metadata and Ontologies FAIR-IMPACT has established a draft specification of a candidate shared/standard API for SACs. The first version of this draft API is described in D4.3 Specification of shared metadata description of semantic artefacts and their catalogues including common reference API1. In this specification, the Metadata for Ontology


Implementation Story
NOC
Developing the MODC API for the NERC Vocabulary Server (NVS)
Semantic Artefact Catalogue (SAC) providers were invited to apply to join this support action to implement an API based on the Metadata for Ontology Description and Publication (MOD) ontology to promote interoperability and enhance access to SACs. This API enables a uniform interface to semantic artefacts (SA), enabling seamless querying by stakeholders, regardless of domain. This open call was an opportunity for SACs to participate in a community-driven effort to improve the FAIRness of their resources through the adoption of this API. This support offer was a call for implementations of the MOD-API by existing SACs. FAIR-IMPACT offered to support to relevant labs, institutions or infrastructure already providing (some kind of) SAC and who were willing to implement the MOD-API on top of their catalogues to ease the use of their services and enable a better interoperability between all SACs.
Implementation Story
Helsinki
Prototype Implementation of the MOD API for Skosmos-based Vocabulary Services
Semantic Artefact Catalogue (SAC) providers were invited to apply to join this support action to implement an API based on the Metadata for Ontology Description and Publication (MOD) ontology to promote interoperability and enhance access to SACs. This API enables a uniform interface to semantic artefacts (SA), enabling seamless querying by stakeholders, regardless of domain. This open call was an opportunity for SACs to participate in a community-driven effort to improve the FAIRness of their resources through the adoption of this API. The MOD-API is formalised by means of an OpenAPI template designed to guide the implementation of Web REST APIs. This support offer was a call for implementations of the MOD-API by existing SACs. FAIR-IMPACT offered to support to relevant labs, institutions or infrastructure already providing (some kind of) SAC and who were willing to implement the MOD-API on top of their catalogues to ease the use of their services and enable a better interoperability between all SACs.
