Module 1 Handbook

You can identify investments that will require FAIR and safeguarded data as they feature the following activities.

1. Collecting new data or information
   For example, for analysis
2. Stakeholder collaboration
   Collaboration between actors often relies on the ability to share data and information between them  
3. Developing digital services
   Creating services or applications from data derived from third party sources and transformed in some way to generate insights 
4. Providing tailored services or insights
   Tailoring services are likely to include personal or sensitive information. They will depend on high quality data and evidence and to be able to trust and reuse that data.
5. Sharing or publishing data
   An investment may be focussed entirely on improving sharing of data, for example via Soil Information Systems.

Toolbox checklist

You can find a checklist in the toolbox to identify which investments will require FAIR and safeguarded data within them. The checklist builds on the 5 points above, providing examples of activities within each theme.
