Abstract
Scientific data repositories exist to provide access to research data as well as to promote their reuse. Research data communities currently recognize the FAIR Data Principles [1] as the standard for supporting the aforementioned goals. FAIR consists of fifteen principles which are meant to assist in making the contents of a repository Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable [1].
While the FAIR guidelines are only a set of recommendations, open both to critique and possible improvements [2], they represent an important first step towards addressing the issues of accessibility and reuse of data in digital repositories. The topic of this poster is whether the FAIR guidelines could or should be applied to other data stores than bone fide digital repositories? Particularly, we explore whether there is value in considering the FAIR guidelines at the initial point of data creation, in addition to the end points of data curation and preservation.

In between data sharing and reuse: Shareability, availability and reusability in diverse contexts
ABSTRACTAlthough data availability cannot be considered the sole predictor of effective reuse, because only accessible and well‐managed data can make reuse possible, data reuse is contingent on the availability of data. It is critical to understand the ...
Managing fixity and fluidity in data repositories
iConference '12: Proceedings of the 2012 iConferenceData repositories walk a fine line between the fixity and fluidity of the data they curate. Change is constant, but too much change affects the integrity of data. This paper examines data transformations in three repositories, serving the zoological, ...
Analytic potential of data: assessing reuse value
JCDL '11: Proceedings of the 11th annual international ACM/IEEE joint conference on Digital librariesRealizing the vision of networked data collections and services requires large bodies of scientific data that can be used in new ways. Adapting the concept of epistemological potential, we illustrate an approach for assessing the value of data for reuse ...
