- Title
- terms4FAIRskills
- Description
- terms4FAIRskills is a terminology that describes the competencies, skills and knowledge associated with making and keeping data FAIR. This terminology was created to apply to a variety of use cases, including:
- To assist with the creation and assessment of stewardship curricula;
- To facilitate the annotation, discovery and evaluation of FAIR-enabling materials (e.g. training) and resources;
- To enable the formalisation of job descriptions and CVs with recognised, structured competencies.
The terminology is of use to trainers who teach FAIR data skills, researchers who wish to identify skill gaps in their teams and managers who need to recruit individuals to relevant roles.

- Methodology used
- Two face-to-face hackathons occurred in 2019. Next, thanks to our successful EOSC co-creation proposal, we continued to develop the Terms4FAIRskills (T4FS) using two real-life use cases - the CODATA/RDA Summer Schools and the ELIXIR Training Platform Training and Events Portal (TeSS). Through additional workshops and hackathons, we iteratively annotated a large number of training materials using the Semaphora annotation tool. Our report on this work can be found on Zenodo at the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4705219 and more information on our work during the award can be found on these two blogs:
