Description

Presentation given at the Ontologies4Chem Workshop 2025.

Abstract:
RO-Crate offers a streamlined way to bundle research outputs with their metadata, FAIR Signposting enables intuitive navigation of scholarly resources online. Together, these technologies create a web-friendly or, in short, webby implementation path for FAIR Digital Objects. The approach can be easily integrated into existing data infrastructures or used for ad-hoc research objects on standard web hosting platforms.
This presentation highlights recent community advancements and the growing adoption of webby FAIR Digital Objects based on RO-Crate and FAIR Signposting.
