THE DATA PROBLEM IN SCIENCE
THE DATA PROBLEM
UNFINDABLE Data is fragmented and poorly indexed
UNUSABLE Data often lacks context (metadata) to be
usable by others
The amount of data in the
world doubles every two years
Gantz J, Reinsel D (2012) The digital universe in 2020: big data, bigger digital shadows, and biggest growth in the far east. IDC

THE FAIR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
FAIR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
FINDABLE Searchable & appropriately tagged
ACCESSIBLE Open source, useable, interoperable formats.
INTEROPERABLE Labeled with clearly defined vocabulary
REUSABLE Licensed, high quality, unique entries
Focus on “enhancing the ability of machines to automatically find and use the data, in addition to supporting
reuse by individuals” Wilksinson, Mark D. et al. , Scientific Data 3 (2016)
