RO-Crates meets FAIR Digital Objects

RO-Crates makes it easier to package research digital objects together with their metadata so both dependencies and context can be captured. Combined with FAIR good practices such as the use of persistent identifiers, inclusion of license, clear object provenance, and adherence to community standards, RO-crates provides a way to increase FAIRness in science. In this abstract we present the use of RO-Crates, combined with Linked Data best practices, as an implementation for lightweight FAIR Digital Objects, and its possible use in NFDI consortia.
