OntoCommons aims at defining a semantic interoperability framework to support the documentation of industrial data with ontologies. Ontologies are at the cornerstone of the FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al., 2016).
The FAIR principles provides a framework for machine actionable data and are used to support the implementation of the Open Science and Research Data Management strategy of the European Open Science Cloud (European Commission, 2022). They gained momentum both internationally in the research communities but also in industry. Supporting the implementation of the FAIR principles is one of the key objectives of the OntoCommons project. To achieve this goal, Task 1.3 aims at working together with the existing European and international projects and initiatives to both reuse their outcomes and to contribute to the their enrichment with industrial constraints.
This document summarises the efforts of T1.3 to establish collaborations with relevant projects and initiatives in order to identify and use existing recommendations, guidelines and frameworks for supporting the implementation of FAIR principles within OntoCommons. This report provides a snapshot of our ongoing work in the course of the project.
