1.c Central FDP

The test version is currently available, the production version will be available soon.

Introduction

If you're unable to implement any of the previously suggested methods to set up your own FAIR Data Point, you have the option to utilize the central FDP managed by Health-RI directly.

With this option, your metadata source is not automatically linked to the FDP, so if possible, we recommend setting up your own FDP.

Pros / Cons

Pro

Dataset owner doesn’t need to setup and maintain the FAIR Data Point to add metadata to the National Health Data Catalogue

Con

The central FDP supports one metadata schema at the moment.
Metadata needs to be maintained and updated manually.

Using the central FAIR Data Point

In order to use the central FDP you will need an account login. For this please contact servicedesk@health-ri.nl . A Health-RI colleague will then check if use of central FDP in your case is the right solution.
If the use of a central FDP is approved, you will receive your login information.

The highest level of a resource that is added to the FDP is called a “catalog” (e.g. a project) which can contain one or more datasets (see bellow).

Often, regards the contact point email which needs to be in vcard as mailto:NAME@DOMAIN.nl and cannot be submitted as NAME@DOMAIN.nl.

All time indicators (issued, modified) also need to follow the correct time format. Please check by selecting the a date on via the calendar rather than typing.

Next steps

If you have an FDP and compliant metadata (4A Metadata mapping )within your FDP, the data can be harvested by the National Catalogue. For this step see 5. Metadata harvesting .
