AusSeabed aims to make seabed data available to all using FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data principles, open technologies and communities of practice.
The FAIR principles were first drafted at an international scientific workshop in 2014, with the principles officially published in 2016 (Wilkinson et al., 2016)[1]. Since then, the principles have received worldwide recognition and been endorsed by international organisations including FORCE11, National Institutes of Health and the European Commission as an essential framework for sharing data and outputs in a way that would maximise use and reuse.
The FAIR principles are designed to:
support knowledge discovery and innovation both by humans and machines
support data and knowledge integration
promote sharing and reuse of data
be applied across multiple disciplines
assist in making data and metadata ‘machine readable’, supporting new discoveries through the harvest and analysis of multiple datasets and outputs
