FAIRsharing: linking standards,

repositories and policies Peter McQuilton

RDA 10th Plenary, September 2017, Montrèal, Canada

A web-based, curated, and searchable portal that monitors the

development and evolution of data and metadata standards,

across all disciplines, inter-related to databases/repositories and

data policies

FAIRsharing has grown organically from BioSharing.org, which

covered standards, databases and policies in the life,

environmental and biomedical sciences.

My funder’s data policy recommends the use of

established standards, but which are widely endorsed

and applicable to my clinical disease data?

We need a standard for sharing

cell line data, what’s out there and

who should we talk to?

I have some old rice genomic data in

format X, which is now deprecated; what

format has replaced X?

What databases are heavily

supported in the community that we

should recommend to our authors?

Finding and Accessing the data
