The FAIR Metroline gives an overview of steps used by a variety of publications and initiatives to reach their FAIR goals (see the picture below). By properly describing what all of these steps entail and adding practical how-tos, the steps can be used to help researchers and data stewards make data more FAIR.

The steps also provide guidance for onboarding (meta)data to the Dutch National Health Data Catalogue.

As can be seen in the image above, the The FAIR Metroline contains many steps. Depending on your project and goals only a select number of steps may be relevant. Thus, each project will have its own workflow:

...

Given the large number of steps, we will prioritise adding focus on detailed how-to descriptions and real-life examples of process steps based on FAIr Metroline steps that align with the development of the Dutch National Health Data Catalogue, which is currently the Health-RI priority. Using this approach we ensure focus is on steps that are relevant right now for end users. For the current status of the steps see this page.

Furthermore, we are also developing FAIR steps together with funders, to incorporate FAIR into projects from the start. The exact approach and alignment with the FAIR Metroline is still under development.
