FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship

The FAIR Guiding Principles were created to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. First published in 2016 in the journal Scientific Data for scientific and research data, they have become internationally recognised for their applicability to the management of data across multiple domains. Managing data according to the FAIR principles supports the open and strategic management of data and can help your organisation to enhance its reusability and promote effective data stewardship across the organisation (and throughout your value chain). Enhancing data reusability allows for it to have an impact beyond its original purpose, such as enabling the use of automated decision systems and supporting the delivery of services.
