The FAIRsharing journey in RDA document discusses:
1) FAIRsharing's growth and involvement with RDA since 2011, including its Working Group established in 2015 to curate standards, databases, and policies to promote FAIR data.
2) FAIRsharing's current activities and impact, such as its registry of over 4,000 records from many disciplines and usage in various tools and services.
3) Opportunities for further engagement with RDA, such as leveraging their expertise for contributions to the FAIR Cookbook, an open resource providing technical recipes for applying FAIR principles to life science data.

Sustained in ELIXIR and
adopted internationally!
An open, live resource for the life science with recipes that cover the operation steps of FAIR data management
16. Content covers:
omics
pre-clinical
clinical areas
But not limited to it!
Coverage and learning objectives
Learn how to improve the FAIRness with exemplar datasets
Understand the levels and indicators of FAIRness
Discover open source technologies, tools and services
Find out the required skills
Acknowledge the challenges
21. Credit and citability:
because all contributions matters!

22. Motivations and ambitions
beyond the hype
Large body of generic FAIR
guidance
Motivations
Non-speci鍖c guidance for
the life sciences
Ambitions
Target speci鍖c situations to deliver a guide with
applied examples
Join academia and industry forces to make the
case for FAIR data management
Build capacity for high quality data
management in the private and public sectors
Lack of practical examples
of how-to with di鍖erent
data types and scenarios
23. A role for RDA?
Leverage on the RDA community expertise and make a call for contributions?
Many topics, and related recipes, are applicable across disciplines
Address common challenges and 鍖nd common solutions at pre-competitive level (industry)
How to manage relevance to Life Science (ELIXIR and pharmas), while expanding?
Quality over quantity of the contributions: proof of FAIR competence (as individual and as an
organisation)? Eg
Involved in data centric projects as data managers
Authored publication, datasets, reports, technical documentation
(For industry) provided service as data curators, data vendors.
Currently one Editorial Board, with a lot of work
Consider multiple domain focused Boards?
Just engage with RDA during pleaneries?
Stay connected to its growing community and keep abreast with the latest activities
Expand the network of potential users, adopters and do target invites for contributions
