Short description

Building upon the findings from the pre-FAIR assessment, this step provides a structured approach to addressing identified gaps in FAIR compliance. A well-defined solution plan ensures that all necessary technical, organisational, and procedural aspects are systematically considered, leading to an effective and sustainable transition towards FAIR data. By transforming assessment insights into actionable strategies, this step provides a clear roadmap for implementation.

Why is this step important 

By completing this step you will have one or more workplans with the steps required to achieve your FAIRification goals.

This may also describe a framework. Still need to check. https://www.go-fair.org/how-to-go-fair/

It feels like the FAIRInAction and its FAIR cookbook page is the most relevant. Should we somehow translate what they did to how that would apply to the Metroline? Expand their model with the steps they don’t have? If we would expand their model, would we have to justify these other steps and publish that?

Or can other generic project approached be applied? Like “this is the type of project that requires quick adjustments, so you may want to consider scrum.”

From a Metroline perspective, at some point you could perhaps even provide suggested solution plans, based on the FAIR Objectives. E.g. If you goal is “Register your study in the HRI Catalogue”, relevant steps are x, y, z and you could approach these steps (project-wise) in such-and-such-a-way (e.g. iteratively, like suggested FAIRInAction). Complicated, but perhaps useful, but it also means we’d have to have a list of “Generic FAIR Objectives”.

Does DMP-related stuff also fit into this somehow? Let’s say you have a project and its DMP. The DMP could include (a link to) a Solution Plan, which is basically the practical How-will-I-do-this-project. You could say any FAIRification process requires a Solution plan. In some cases, this solution may be “easy”, like when you just want to onboard your data in the HRI Catalogue.

Following the pre-FAIR assessment, where key gaps and improvement areas are identified, this step ensures that those insights are systematically addressed. Without a well-defined plan, FAIRification efforts can become fragmented and ineffective. This step transforms assessment findings into actionable solutions, helping to:

• Align stakeholders on a shared approach,

• Optimise the use of available resources and infrastructure,

• Define success criteria to measure progress,

• Facilitate long-term sustainability and interoperability of FAIR data.

[FAIRInAction] 

During the design stage, concrete steps from the FAIRification template are identified to achieve the FAIRification goal identified for this cycle. These steps form the FAIRification workplan to be realised during the implementation stage.

One approach is to have multiple iterative FAIRification cycles, with each cycle focussing on one FAIRification objective. Each cycle can have its own workplan, guiding the implementation [FAIRInAction].
