About This Video
Meet the Lost Dataset — a cute, animated file icon lost in the chaos of someone's hard drive. Through its journey, you'll learn why FAIR data principles matter and how they transform forgotten files into valuable research objects.
What You'll Learn
- Why simply uploading data isn't enough
- Findable: persistent identifiers, rich metadata, and discoverability
- Accessible: clear access pathways (open or controlled)
- Interoperable: shared standards, common vocabularies, linked systems
- Reusable: documentation, provenance, versioning, and licensing
Duration
~7 minutes
Who Is This For?
Researchers, students, and anyone producing or managing research data. No prior knowledge of FAIR principles required — this is the perfect starting point before diving into the hands-on modules that follow.
