    institutional commitment to data preservation –––
 
 Data archives for each major research area • Earth Science Data - Major facilities at NASA's Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) located throughout the United States • Space Science Data - Helio, planetary, and astronomical data. • Research publications - online database of over 16 million astronomy and physics papers. * https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/
  2. Open Data Forum Learning from NASA’s commitment to open Making

    data FAIR* • Findable - consistent and persistent descriptions make scientific data easy to find by both humans and computers • Accessible - use of standard, open protocols ensure data and metadata can be accessed by all. • Interoperable - formal, accessible, and widely adopted semantics and vocabularies are used to expand data usability across systems and communities. • Reusable - data are richly described according to standards to ensure they can be combined or replicated, and usage rights are clarified * https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/

    requires (open) tools to have value • Core libraries – funded by the creators of the data. • Community libraries – sponsored by NASA, but also significant volunteer contributions. Communities building the tools they need. • Detailed tutorials – demonstrating how to solve common problems. • Open licenses – to maximise reuse (both data and software). https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/
