How to
The How to section should:
...
be split into easy to follow steps;
Step 1 - Title of the step
Step 2 - Title of the step
etc.
...
help the reader to complete the step;
...
aspire to be readable for everyone, but, depending on the topic, may require specialised knowledge;
...
be a general, widely applicable approach;
...
if possible / applicable, add (links to) the solution necessary for onboarding in the Health-RI National Catalogue;
...
aim to be practical and simple, while keeping in mind: if I would come to this page looking for a solution to this problem, would this How-to actually help me solve this problem;
...
contain references to solutions such as those provided by FAIR Cookbook, RMDkit, Turing way and FAIR Sharing;

Step 1 – Identify key requirements
Based on the outcomes of the Pre-FAIR Assessment, identify the specific needs required to bridge the FAIR-related gaps. These may include metadata schemas, persistent identifiers, or data repositories that were found lacking in the assessment.
Step 2 – Assess feasibility and constraints
Assess the current infrastructure, policies, and data governance environment identified in the Pre-FAIR Assessment. Determine constraints such as legal barriers, technical limitations, and organisational readiness that could hinder FAIR implementation, and define strategies to address them.
Step 3 – Select appropriate tools and methodologies
Using insights from the Pre-FAIR Assessment, select tools, frameworks, and methodologies that directly address the gaps identified. Resources such as http://FAIRsharing.org and existing FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs) should be leveraged to ensure alignment with best practices.
Step 4 – Engage stakeholders and align objectives
Engage the same stakeholders involved in the Pre-FAIR Assessment to ensure continuity. Foster collaboration between data stewards, domain experts, and IT teams to translate assessment findings into a practical and domain-specific solution plan.
Step 5 – Develop the FAIRification roadmap
Develop a detailed implementation roadmap that reflects the prioritised recommendations from the Pre-FAIR Assessment. Define key performance indicators that track the effectiveness of interventions and allow for iterative improvements.
Step 6 – Validate and refine the solution plan
Validate the proposed solution with stakeholders by comparing it to the insights gathered in the Pre-FAIR Assessment. Ensure that the solution effectively addresses identified gaps, and adjust where necessary based on stakeholder input.
