FAIR Digital Objects: FAIRtilizer for the Digital Harvest

EPiC series in computing, vol. 105, pp. 284–274

Abstract

FAIR Digital Objects (FDO) are a concept to transfer digital objects to the world of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-Usable) that form a common baseline for the handling of research data. Combined with an enterprise-ready cloud storage system, FDOs can be used to make these systems fit for purpose in the research data management (RDM) context. This allows profiting from scalability by connecting data spaces concepts defined in Gaia-x. The presented concepts are implemented based on a shared, geo-redundant storage system and within the research data management platform Coscine that is made available to researchers in the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
