STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT Short Description
In this step, the aim is to setup a workplan for your FAIRification process. This workplan is a specific design an implementation plan customised to your project, composed of template elements required to achieve your intended FAIRification goals [FAIRInAction]. For many steps in the workplan, solutions may already exist, for example in the form of recipes as provided by the FAIR Cookbook [FAIRCookbook].
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].
-----------
[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.
The FAIRification Workplan
The FAIRification Workplan is a specific design and implementation plan customised to an individual project by selecting the template elements required to achieve the intended FAIRification goals according to the project examination. An example of a FAIRification workplan is shown in Supplementary Figure 1. For many of the steps in the workplan, solutions may already exist, in the shape of FAIR Cookbook 15,16 recipes (https://faircookbook.elixir-europe.org), which serve as a guide. Supplementary Table 2 provides links to the recipes that address specific implementation considerations. Once the workplan has been designed, it is put into action within the agreed cycle time frame.
Working Group
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.
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
[RDMkit]
Perhaps: https://rdmkit.elixir-europe.org/dm_coordination
This section should help complete the step. It’s crucial that this is practical, doable and scalable.
Depending on the type of step, this can, for example, be a reference to one or more (doable) recipes, or perhaps some form of checklist? The recipes/best-practices presented should be based on experts from the field.
This should probably be a subpage so as not to have too much text on this page.

Practical Examples from the Community
This section should show the step applied in a real project. Links to demonstrator projects.
