Short Description 

The next step in the process is to make your data and metadata linkable, i.e. transform them to a machine readable knowledge graph representation [Generic]. Currently, this is done using Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies [GOFair]. An example of a linkable machine-readable global framework is the Resource Description Framework (RDF). It provides a common and straightforward underlying model and creates a powerful global virtual knowledge graph [Generic]. To transform the metadata and data into this linkable representation requires the semantic models defined in step X and step Y respectively. See the How to section for practical information.

It is essential to properly define your access conditions – see Step X.

Why is this step important 

By completing this step, you will have FAIRified your (meta)data and exposed it to the world. 

Expertise requirements for this step 

This section could describe the expertise required. Perhaps the Build Your Team step could then be an aggregation of all the “Expertise requirements for this step” steps that someone needs to fulfil his/her FAIRification goals.   

How to 

[Generic] 

In order to transform the data into a machine-readable form (Step 5a) the semantic data model defined (or chosen) in Step 4a is required. Specialized tools are available for this process such as the FAIRifier, which provides insight into the transformation process and makes the process reproducible by tracking intermediate steps [6]. Other similar tools are Karma [16], Rightfield [17], and OntoMaton [18]. 

...

After transforming the eCRF data into a machine-readable RDF representation (step 11), it is stored in a triple store. This is done via the data transformation application upon data entry (collected or updated) in the EDC system (step 10). The URL providing access to the machine-readable data in the triple store is made available in the FAIR Data Point as an access URL in the Distribution layer (Figure S2).
