Data can be one of the most useful and critical attributes to our society yet can only be helpful and supportive if it is understood  and applied correctly. Prior to reading this article I did not really think about the importance of once Data is collected and obtain what is the “next” step in order of this data to be valid or even valuable. The Acronym “Fair” revolving about data is very useful because it simply states the characteristics Data should reflect. If data is not findable, accessible, interoperable, and Reusable then it should be noted that this data should not be used because it most likely won’t help support what point one is trying to validate. My colleague who wrote The “R” in FAIR made a remark that I also agree with the concept of “Reusable” data. What makes data so necessary is that it can be used in various situations and support different types of viewpoints. This blog also points out that data can used over and over again and never goes away which is important to remember when dealing with data.
