User requirements and meta-data model for the FAIR data catalogue from WP1&2

Task 7.4: Creation and filling of a FAIR data source catalogue(s) (M3-M36) (BBMRI, UMCG, GSK, JAN, Sanofi, SGUL). A FAIR data source catalogue will be created with specific search features that will be defined based on user requirements. We will use standard metadata models to make data resources findable, understandable, and provide fine-grained access control for researchers (FAIR implies access ‘under well-defined conditions’). Computer-readable terms that minimally describe the data resource (e.g. an ontology term or a (bio)schema.org term) are added for a searchable index of sources. The metadata defines the resource as a whole, the data sets, formats in which the data sets are, variables and provenance. The catalogue will also contain a private negotiation service to arrange data access, and a separate private site for simple analysis of data characterisation tables, which can be used in feasibility services following authentication. The catalogue will be filled by UMCG using the WP1 and 2 data.
