FAIR Signposting: A KISS Approach to a Burning Issue
Download as PPTX, PDF•0 likes•1,351 views
The document discusses the concept of Fair Signposting, aimed at clarifying the existence and interaction of scholarly objects on the web to enhance interoperability. It highlights the challenges of the current lack of a uniform interface for scholarly objects and proposes a navigational approach using typed links. The Fair Signposting profile serves as an implementation guideline for facilitating machine interaction with scholarly objects, utilizing existing web technologies and standards.

- 6. FAIR Signposting https://signposting.org/FAIR/ Dataverse Community Meeting, 15 June 2021 • Make it easy for machines to interact with scholarly objects on the Web • This is a burning issue because the lack of a uniform interface to scholarly objects on the web requires ad-hoc platform-specific solutions for the creation of cross-platform services • Think of e.g. Zotero, LOCKSS, numerous APIs, … • There’s not even a uniform way to determine the PID of a scholarly object from the landing page • This makes the barrier to entry for the creation of cross-platform services high. Which tends to lead to centralization, monopolies, lack of innovation. Burning Issue: Clarify How Scholarly Objects Exist on the Web

FAIR Signposting https://signposting.org/FAIR/ Dataverse Community Meeting, 15 June 2021 • Achieves what the FAIR Digital Object Framework desires by: • using links, the core ingredient of the web • using IANA-registered link types defined in formal specifications • conveying typed links in HTTP Link and HTML <link> • conveying typed links in Link Sets (soon to be IETF-standardized), which support semantic interpretation if needed • devising a navigational approach usable by basic web clients • not requiring standardization on metadata formats or ontologies as is essential for descriptive approaches • not requiring centralized infrastructure • Bottom line: FAIR Signposting provides a KISS uniform interface for machine interaction with scholarly objects on the Web by using existing technology only FAIR Signposting Profile

Editor's Notes
- #3: Two factors: burning issue & a solution as simple as possible to implement
- #11: All link types IANA registered Cardinality of links Media types Collection link allows to climb back up to landing page and resources linked from there Type: schema.org but can obviously use other Content resources can override info at landing page
- #14: Linkset motivation: large number of links, single point of access to all links, content resources can’t provide link (reside at 3rd party, don’t know they belong to an object)
- #19: FDOF Identifier Record = Link Set (shows all links) Content Negotiation in Abstract Dimension Content Negotiation with PID, which assumes all info available there, i.e. further centralization and need for repo-to-resolver sync
- #20: FDOF Identifier Record = Link Set (shows all links) Content Negotiation in Abstract Dimension Content Negotiation with PID, which assumes all info available there, i.e. further centralization and need for repo-to-resolver sync
