Toward defining and implementing FAIR for research software
Year: 2020
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: As of July 2020, a new FAIR For Research Software Working Group (FAIR4RS WG) is being jointly convened as an Research Data Alliance (RDA) Working Group, FORCE11 Working Group, and Research Software Alliance (ReSA) Taskforce, in recognition of the importance of this work for the advancement of the research sector. FAIR4RS WG will enable coordination of a range of existing community-led discussions on how to define and effectively apply FAIR principles to research software, to achieve adoption of these principles. The working group will deliver: 1) A document developed with community support defining FAIR principles for research software; 2) A document providing guidelines on how to apply the FAIR principles for research software (based on existing frameworks); and 3) A document summarising the definition of the FAIR principles for research software, implementation guidelines and adoption examples. Four initial subgroups are now 1) defining research software, 2) taking a fresh look at the FAIR principles in the context of research software, 3) examining recent work in this area, and 4) looking at how FAIR is being applied to other types of objects. This talk provides an update on the results of these four subgroups, in the context of the entire working group's activities and plans.
