This page describes the process of developing a FAIR Metroline page from its initial state to an adopted, widely accepted a released version.
While writing and reviewing it is important to keep in mind that the aim of the Metroline is to provide readers FAIRification guidance in an understandable and applicable way. After reading a page a user should be able to understand the problem and take practical steps towards the solution.
Sections “Ownership of content”, “Acknowledgement of contributors” and “Contributor’s responsibilities” are based on RDMkit’s How to contribute page.
Ownership of content
No single contributor or editor owns the content of the site, or has the right to dictate what the content should be. The content on the Metroline is a community effort, with many people contributing. Decisions are driven by consensus among the contributors and editors.
The content is periodically updated, which means that if you create content in a Metroline page, others can change the content without notifying you. However, the Metroline editors ensure that content is only modified for good reasons. The Metroline editors try to ensure that the legitimate concerns and different point of views of all contributors are accommodated, and that the content reflects the most popular consensus on any given topic.
If you find any content unsatisfactory, please feel free to send an email to fairservicedesk@health-ri.nl.
Acknowledgement of contributors
Contributors will be shown at the bottom of the page. If possible, please link contributors to their ORCID. All contributors will also be displayed in the contributors page.
Group Structure
The FAIR Metroline is being developed by the following groups of people:
Writing group: people actively co-writing pages
Reviewing group: a broader audience providing feedback on pages
Editorial board: ensure that the content represents the majority opinion and that the various perspectives of contributors are taken into account
...
Since the content of these pages will be dynamic and revisions will be made, statuses will switch over time, even after a step has been adopted. The most recent version will always be the visible one; if an adopted version also exists, the most recent version will contain a link to the adopted version at the top of the page.
The Writing Process

Contributor responsibilities
