Integrated FAIR datasets
Output 2
The project has established the governance and technical foundations required for FAIR data integration.
A comprehensive FAIR Implementation Plan and PID Implementation Plan have been completed and approved, providing a framework for metadata standards, persistent identifiers, interoperability and long-term stewardship of project outputs.
The project GitHub organisation is operational and includes repositories supporting data cataloguing, ecosystem data transformation, workflow development and software outputs.
FAIR compliance has been embedded through a reusable EIW FAIR check kit implemented using GitHub Actions, enabling consistent metadata management, documentation and publication workflows across repositories.
Project outputs are being managed through a dedicated Zenodo community to support archiving, citation and long-term accessibility.
The infrastructure already supports multiple ecosystem data integration workflows and use cases under development, including ecosystem cross-references and ecosyten specific indicators workflows.
These investments establish a scalable framework that improves data discoverability, reproducibility and reuse, reducing barriers for researchers developing ecosystem assessments and environmental reporting products.
