STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT

This page describes the process of developing a FAIR Metroline page from its initial state to a released version. Sections “Ownership of content”, “Acknowledgement of contributors” and “Contributor’s responsibilities” are based on RDMkit’s How to contribute page.

Group structure

The FAIR Metroline is being developed by the following groups:

  • Writing group: people actively co-writing pages

  • Reviewing group: a broader audience providing feedback on pages

  • Editorial board: small group responsible for the FAIR Metroline processes

We invite you to collaborate with us as we continue to refine the various FAIR Metroline phases. Contributors will be acknowledged. If you are interested in joining one of the groups, please email fairservicedesk@health-ri.nl.

Page development phases

While writing and reviewing it is important to keep in mind that the aim of the FAIR 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. Pages go through the following development phases:

  • STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT: the page is or will soon be developed the Writing group. See Writing group for more information.

  • STATUS: READY FOR REVIEW: the page is ready to be reviewed by the Reviewing group. See Reviewing group for more information.

  • STATUS: RELEASED: The page has been formally released by the Editorial board. See Editorial Process for details.

Decisions regarding whether a page is ready to move to the next development stage are decided by the Editorial board. See Editorial board for more information.

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.

Ownership of content

The FAIR Metroline is a Health-RI community effort, and decisions are driven by consensus among all contributors (writers, reviewers and editors). No single contributor owns the content of the site, or has the right to dictate what the content should be.

The content of the FAIR Metroline will be periodically updated, based on contributions from the writers and reviewers. The editors will ensure that the content represents the majority opinion and that the various perspectives of contributors are taken into account.

Kindly contact fairservicedesk@health-ri.nl if you consider any content to be incorrect.

Writing group

As part of the Writing group, you have full rights on the FAIR Metroline Confluence pages. Furthermore, you are added to the dedicated Slack channel. You will be mentioned in the Writers' section on the Contributors page.

As a writer, keep in mind the following:

  • You are expected to co-create pages

  • You are expected to review pages written by other members of the Writing group STATUS: IN DEVELOPMENT .

  • To get a clear understanding of what is expected in each section of a Metroline page, study the template.

  • Please adhere to the Style guide.

  • Please follow the Copyright guidelines to ensure the content you provide respects copyright (TODO).

  • Please make sure you comply to the Editors checklist (TODO).

Suggested approach for writing a page:

  1. Start with a braindump and add everything you can think of. Research your topic and look for existing best-practices in sources such as the FAIR Cookbook and RMDkit.

    1. Add your text by mentioning your name between brackets, followed by the text. For example: [Sander] This is my text.

  2. Co-write with members from the Writing group. Some of us meet every Friday in Utrecht to co-write, but feel free to plan co-write sessions whenever you deem suitable.

  3. When you feel the page is ready, notify the Writing group to make the page available for internal review.

    1. The Writing Group reviewers can either directly edit the page or add comments with suggested improvements.

  4. When development of the page is done, notify the Editorial board. The board will verify the page meets the requirements, update the page’s status and inform the Reviewing group.

Reviewers group

As part of the Reviewing group, you have comment rights on the FAIR Metroline Confluence pages. You will be mentioned in the Reviewers' section on the Contributors page.

As a reviewer, keep in mind the following:

  • You are expected to review pages within the time frame of 3 weeks

    • The Editorial board will communicate if pages are available for review after the monthly board meeting.

  • You can add suggestions by adding comments to a page. Please make sure the suggestions are constructive and respectful.

  • After the review deadline has passed, the original Writing Group authors will address the suggestions. This may include contacting you to further clarify/discuss a suggestion. Note that even though all suggestions will be taken seriously, not all will necessarily be adopted.

  • After the comments have been addressed, the Editorial Board decides whether the page is ready to be released/adopted

To reduce expenses, the Editorial board regularly checks whether a Confluence account is actively used and, if not, will disable the account.

Editorial board

The Editorial board is responsible for the FAIR Metroline as a product. As a board member you:

  • Create and improve the processes around the Metroline

  • Keep track of the members of the Writing group and Reviewing group

    • Ensure contributors are in the correct group and have the appropriate rights in Confluence

      • Writing group members get full access rights

      • Reviewing group members get comment rights

    • Disable accounts of inactive members

  • Decide which pages have priority

  • Ensure page development is in line with the plateau planning

  • Are allowed to change the status of a page (e.g. from In progress to Ready for review)

  • Spread information when pages are ready for review via email, websites and/or blog-posts

    • Information includes a link to the “How to contribute” page

  • Ensure pages follow the Style guide

  • Occasionally check the pages for dead links

Members of the Editorial board are part of the Writing group and therefore substantively (???) involved. The board meets once per month.
