FAIR and safeguarded data

Data can be:

  • observations
  • samples
  • numbers
  • images
  • other resources
When you process, analyse or present data in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called information.

Value can be created and maximised from data when it is collected, accessed, used and shared.

If you do not share your data the cycle is broken, as the same data cannot be collected and re-used by others.

FAIR data is:

Findable
Accessible
Interoperable
Reusable

Safeguarded data is:

  • managed and governed equitably and ethically
  • as open as possible while reducing harmful impacts
