Upcoming Open Mic - FAIR Digital Objects
The Open mic session starts on Friday 17 April 2026 at 10:30 on this link. The speaker is Michal Med, who attended FAIR Digital Objects Conference which took place in Wien from 24th to 27th March 2026.
The problem
Larger and larger amounts of data are being generated every day while complexity of global data space is increasing expotentially. It will be more nad more difficult to work with all available data in a machine actionable way. Concept of FAR Digital Objects was designed to work with data as active autonomous units carrying all the information to understand them both by humans and computers in the science and research context. It ensures that data are uniquely identified, clearly described and accessible accornig to the clear instructions and conditions.
FAIR Principles
FAIR Digital Objects are based on the FAIR Principles, which are:
- Findability,
- Accessibility,
- Interoperability,
- Reusability.
Fair Digital Objects as a solution
Major purpose of FDOs is to crate a Web of FAIR data, where scientists will spend time with actually using and analysing data, rather than finding it, cleaning it and preparing for use. In this open mic presentation, Michal will explain FAIR principles and FDO purpose in more detailed way, defines data spaces and finally introduces what are the key aspects on achieving the goals in FAIR Digital Objects.
