Description

The FAIR-IMPACT project has worked towards realising a FAIR EOSC for the past three years. One of the main objectives of the project has focused on expanding metrics and tools for assessing FAIRness to cover different object types and communities. Previously, the focus has mainly  been on data as the main digital object, and on discipline-agnostic or generic approaches to defining and evaluating the FAIR principles. The FAIR-IMPACT work package on metrics, certification, and guidelines was designed to advance these two areas of FAIR assessment to cover a scope more fitting to the actual EOSC landscape and ecosystem. 

 This reflection paper presents the final remarks from FAIR-IMPACT on the topics of FAIR assessment metrics and tools, linking the preceding outputs and further supporting these with considerations from the current perspective. The aim of this paper is to summarise the knowledge gained over the course of the whole project and to support its perpetuation by putting it in writing and allowing others to read and reuse it to take the next steps beyond it.
