Description: FAIR Data Points can be used to describe your data sets in a FAIR way, using standard metadata and make them available through simple WWW protocols.
About FAIR Data Point FAIR Data Point What is a FAIR Data Point A FAIR Data Point (sometimes abbreviated to FDP) is the realisation of the vision of a group of authors of the original paper on FAIR on how (meta)data could be presented on the web using existing standards, and without the need of APIs.
A FAIR Data Point ultimately stores information about data sets , which is the definition of metadata . And just like the webserver in the WWW in the beginning of the 1990s brought the power of publishing text to anyone, a FAIR data point aims to give anyone the power of putting their own data on the web.
The system is called a FAIR data point because it takes care of a lot of the issues that need to be taken care of to make data FAIR; especially with the metadata needed for F indability and R eusability, and a uniform open way of A ccessing the data. The FAIR data point also addresses the I nteroperability of the metadata it stores, but it leaves the Interoperability aspects for the data itself to the data provider.
