FAIR Metadata

Priory: Medium

Dear colleagues, we would like our resources to comply with the FAIR principles. However, my colleague Claudia ran some automatic checks to assess our compliance with FAIR and we appear to fail under several principles. What is you experience with FAIR and Geonode? Could you please assist us and indicate which metadata fields we need to fill in in order to be FAIR-compliant?

Here are the results of the checks:

Thanks @SterckxArnaud. You can access both FAIR assessment reports here:

I checked on geonode demo, they have also same FAIR values
So should we update it by us or waiting geonode?

Hi Irwan, I am surprised by the relatively poor score of GeoNode. Do you know if it is a priority on Geonode's developers' side to improve it? Maybe @timlinux could advise us on this?

Hi @SterckxArnaud Maybe we didn't test it correctly, as @gubuntu said that GeoNode metadata is already FAIR compliant.
I think we need to research how above test is run

Hi @meomancer, thank you. In addition, I checked directly the GGMN site (instead of the DOI) and it scored quite low (3/22): https://fair-enough.semanticscience.org/evaluations/98710a320f49d1e339a4a75ab252815c173973fa

With this other tool the GGMN site doesn't score very high either: https://www.f-uji.net/index.php

Although we are unsure of what is the best test to use, we think that the FAIRness of GGMN can be improved.

Could you please look into how we might improve the FAIRness of GGMN (either using the tests above or any others you find more suitable)? Could you also provide a quote outlining what would be required to implement these improvements? Thanks!
