FAIR data principles checklist for BPM replication in MASCIS

Principle	Definition	Compliance
F – FINDABLE	To be Findable: F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier F2. data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below) F3. metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it describes F4. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource	Original MASCIS data F1 – yes F2 – no F3 – yes F4 – no MASCIS data entered into VISION-SCI/ODC-SCI F1 – yes F2 – yes F3 – yes F4 – yes
A – ACCESSIBLE	To be Accessible: A1. (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communications protocol A1.1 the protocol is open, free, and universally implementable A1.2 the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization procedure, where necessary A2. metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available	Original MASCIS data A1 – maybe A1.1 – no A1.2 – N/A (unknown) A2 – maybe (in the protocols/grants?) MASCIS data entered into VISION-SCI/ODC-SCI A1 – yes A1.1 – yes A1.2 – yes A2 – yes
I – INTEROPERABLE	To be Interoperable: I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles I3.
