I thought the article from Force 11 for today was very interesting and it seems like the group working on this idea did an in-depth, impressive job coming up with these standards for data on the internet. The FAIR acronym they came up with was very clear and well-done, giving specifics for each part and made me realize the importance of having legitimate data on the internet. I also was intrigued by the “candidate FAIRport” definition that they came up with: 1. Contains FAIR Data Objects (to be judged by the endorsing authority), 2. Provides these Data Objects under well defined accessibility for Re-use. 3. Has a full and open description of all technologies, controlled vocabularies and formats used. All of the aspects of the data being “FAIR” as they describe come with a lot of complication and important side notes that were interesting and at times confusing to read about. My classmate “TB” said that they thought metadata subjectivity could have used more discussion, and I agree with this. I hadn’t thought this before reading this post, but TB said “For things that are objective such as author and character count, other metadata could be less objective”, which makes me agree that there could have been more discussion and explanation for that part of the article.
