FAIR - before | |
|---|---|
State of F | It seemed at first that most of the data sets in this project were already AIR or even FAIR. When searching for them; and when searching for them, some also appeared to be FAIR already! AIR data sets were findable because the naming of the data set was known, i.e., datasets were made in an available and accessible format such as a netcdf, with appropriate metadata attached. Although the datasets itself are findable, their affiliation with the project B&Okust is not documented in the keywords on the Deltares Data Portal. Such examples include the dune foot, MHW and MLW datasets. For people unfamiliar with the data, it is possible they would not be able to find them. |
State of A | For Deltarians, the accessibility of most data sets was quick, with one or a few clicks. For the data sets that were put on the Deltares Data Portal (DDP) via a harvester, the "OpenDAP service" link never worked; only the Direct Download link worked. |
State of I | The data that is harvested from the thredds server is only available via direct download. So this data must be downloaded and stored locally. The manually added data is available with different access URL's: e.g. via OpenDAP or HTTP Server. |
State of R | The data with links to a wiki is described following http://5stardata.info/. This is an initiative with deployment scheme for open data, a bit like FAIR. In the wiki, the data sets and its other releases over time are described. What is missing is the description of how the data set is actually processed. A link to information on data conversion leads to a page that says "work in progress". |

FAIR - after | |
|---|---|
State of F | To do: change in the harvester how and what title, abstract, keywords and other important meta data appears on the front pages of the data sets in the DDP. This way, searchers would know that a particular dataset also has an affiliation to specific projects. |
State of A | Changing the links that pointed to a wrong URL to one that works made the data accessible for all Deltarians. To do: change linking in the harvester. |
State of I | To do: investigate if other ways of operating the data sets is necessary. |
State of R | To do:for this do to, the data owners are necessary and more in-depth investigation must be done to get to know how the data is manipulated. |
