FAIR data steward professional profile A document stating the accumulated training qualifications and FAIR outputs authored by or contributed to, by that person. The profile may be augmented with additional statements regarding professional roles and skills. Data usage license A data policy that specifies legal restrictions on the reuse of the data. Digital Object Type A digital object type is a classification of digital objects with respect to their informational functions to specify the nature of the digital object and the operations that can be performed on it.

Emerging community An early-stage community committed to adopting and promoting FAIR principles for its data and services from the outset. FAIR case study A description of a real-life situation where FAIR requirements of digital objects play a central role. FAIR Data Policy A policy that specifies and guides FAIR data practices for a community. FAIR data stewardship event A meeting specifically designed for current or aspiring data stewards to provide a rigorous understanding of the FAIR principles from theory to their concrete implementation. FAIR data stewardship plan template A template guiding data stewardship including how FAIR Principles should be implemented. The template must be completed with project-specific information in any given instance to outline how data are to be handled in preparation for the project, during the research project, and after the project is completed. FAIR Declaration The statement of a community on how it addresses a FAIR-related question. FAIR-Enabling Resource A service, a specification or a data policy that is essential to the operationalization of the FAIR Principles, i.e., puts FAIR into action. A FAIR-Enabling Resource (FER) provides a function needed to achieve some aspect of FAIR behavior and is explicitly linked to one or more FAIR principles. FAIR-Enabling Resource to be Developed A FAIR-enabling resource that is not yet available but still needs to be developed FAIR Implementation Community A FAIR Implementation Community (FIC) is a self-identified collection of people and/or organizations with the aim to implement the FAIR Principles FAIR Implementation Profile A FAIR Implementation Profile (FIP) is a list of declared technology choices intended to implement each of the FAIR Guiding Principles, made as a collective decision by the members of a particular community of practice. FAIR interpretation A theoretical and practical explanation of the FAIR Principle by a recognized expert authority. FAIR practice A method description detailing the use of a specific resource or a combination of resources as applied by a community to achieve FAIR processing of information. FAIR Qualifcation Criteria A proposition on which a qualification of FAIR Supporting Resources is based. FAIR Representation Service A transformation service that converts non-FAIR data into a FAIR representation using machine-readable knowledge representation languages. FAIR specification A precise description of features, requirements, constraints and recommendations for a specific implementation of a component, system or service supporting the implementation of the FAIR principles. FAIR Supporting Resource Any resource that supports FAIR Data Stewardship. FSRs are represented as FAIR Digital Objects (using the nanopublication framework) with Globally Unique, Persistent, Resolvable Identifiers (GUPRI) that resolve to machine-readable metadata about the resource. FAIR Supporting Resource to be developed A FAIR Supporting Resource that is not yet available but still needs to be developed. FAIR Supporting Software Any set of machine-readable instructions that support the implementation of FAIR, that conform to a given syntax, that are interpretable by a given processor, and that instruct a computer's processor to perform specific tasks. FAIR Supporting Technology Any online accessible software system or component that supports the implementation of the FAIR Principles. FAIR training material Any educational resource (such as the content or its published representation in text, presentation graphics, or video) that covers FAIR topics of interest. FIP Data-related Question A FIP question that is relevant for the actual data (as compared to just their metadata) FIP Declaration The expression of a community on how they address a FIP question FIP Metadata-related Question A FIP question that is relevant for metadata (as compared to the data themselves) FIP No-Choice Declaration A declaration stating that no choice has been made (yet) FIP Question A question communities have to address when declaring their FAIR Implementation Profiles FSR Declaration The statement of a community on the usage of a FAIR Supporting Resource. Generalist registry A registry designed to collect, provide access to, and enable searching of data without any restrictions on the domain. Identifier service A service that provides for any digital object (1) algorithms guaranteeing global uniqueness, (2) policy document that guarantees persistent and (3) resolution of the identifier to machine-actionable metadata describing the object and its location. Knowledge representation language A language specification that enables knowledge to be processed by machines. Mature community A well-established community interested to implement FAIR in their data and services. Metadata-data linking schema A specification that provides a unique, persistent, (ideally) bi-directional, machine-actionable link between metadata and the data they describe. Metadata preservation policy A data policy that describes the conditions under which metadata should be provided in the future. Metadata schema A specification that specifies the structured representation of metadata describing attributes of data or other digital objects in terms of semantics, syntax and optionality. Persistency Policy A policy with respect to persistency of resources. Provenance tracking service A system that systematically captures, stores and manages detailed information about the origin, history, and lifecycle of digital objects creating metadata based on a provenance model. Provenance model A specification that specifies metadata describing the origin and lineage of data or other digital objects. Reference FAIR Implementation Profile A list of recommended FAIR Enabling Resources intended to implement the FAIR Guiding Principles, made as a collective decision by the members of a particular community of practice. Registry A service that indexes metadata and data and provides search over that index. SIP Declaration The statement of a community on how it addresses a SIP question. Semantic Interoperability Profile A Semantic Interoperability Profil (SIP) is a list of FAIR Supporting Resources chosen by a community to support semantic interoperability of (meta)data. Semantic model A specification that defines qualified relations between entities describing data or other digital objects according to the Linked Data principles.
