Advancing Discovery Science with FAIR Data Stewardship: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable: The Serials Librarian: Vol 74, No 1-4

"This report summarizes a presentation by Dr. Michel Dumontier. It reviews innovative scientific research methods created by data science, and the need to develop infrastructure, methodologies, and user communities to advance data science. Stakeholders have proposed a set of principles to make digital resources findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—FAIR. FAIR principles provide guidelines, do not require specific technologies, and allow communities of stakeholders to define specific FAIR standards and develop metrics to quantify them. Libraries can be part of the new data ecosystem by providing education, data stewardship, and infrastructure.

KEYWORDS: FAIR principles, non-reproducibility, data management, data science, genuine semantic publishing, semantic web"
