The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship

The core mission of ELIXIR is to build a stable and sustainable infrastructure for biological information across Europe. At the heart of this are the data resources, tools and services that ELIXIR offers to the life-sciences community, providing stable and sustainable access to biological data. ELIXIR aims to ensure that these resources are available long-term and that the life-cycles of these resources are managed such that they support the scientific needs of the life-sciences, including biological research. ELIXIR Core Data Resources are defined as a set of European data resources that are of fundamental importance to the wider life-science community and the long-term preservation of biological data. They are complete collections of generic value to life-science, are considered an authority in their field with respect to one or more characteristics, and show high levels of scientific quality and service. Thus, ELIXIR Core Data Resources are of wide applicability and usage. This paper describes the structures, governance and processes that support the identification and evaluation of ELIXIR Core Data Resources. It identifies key indicators which reflect the essence of the definition of an ELIXIR Core Data Resource and support the promotion of excellence in resource development and operation. It describes the specific indicators in more detail and explains their application within ELIXIR’s sustainability strategy and science policy actions, and in capacity building, life-cycle management and technical actions. Establishing the portfolio of ELIXIR Core Data Resources and ELIXIR Services is a key priority for ELIXIR and publicly marks the transition towards a cohesive infrastructure.

“…Archiving data in repositories, or publishing them in an article form in the data journals, are two of the best venues to achieve long-term, findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable data (FAIR data 6,11,20,21 ). The Registry of Research Data Repositories (http://re3Data.org) currently lists more than 3,500 data repositories, out of which around 2,000 are classified under natural and life sciences.…”

“…All parties mentioned above have been engaging in the European GO-FAIR ( https://www.dtls.nl/go-fair/) initiative through their participation in PhenoMeNal, which has recently been co-organising the launch of a hub for FAIR metabolomics data in goFAIR. The FAIR data movement has gained considerable momentum in Europe, where FAIR 33 stands for data being Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.…”

“…Leading to the establishment of the worldwide metabolomeXchange network, COSMOS paved the way for PhenoMeNal. As a core organiser of the launch of the node for FAIR data 33 in metabolomics as part of the goFAIR initiative, the PhenoMeNal consortium made another necessary step to establish itself as an authority for metabolomics data ELIXIR Greece has included a computational metabolomics and protein interactomics Use Case, including the formation of standardized integrated metabolomic and proteomic databases and the evolvement of tools for combined metabolic and protein network analysis, in the strategic planning of its national infrastructure management and processing for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).…”

Metabolomics, the youngest of the major omics technologies, is supported by an active community of researchers and infrastructure developers across Europe. To coordinate and focus efforts around infrastructure building for metabolomics within Europe, a workshop on the “Future of metabolomics in ELIXIR” was organised at Frankfurt Airport in Germany. This one-day strategic workshop involved representatives of ELIXIR Nodes, members of the PhenoMeNal consortium developing an e-infrastructure that supports workflow-based metabolomics analysis pipelines, and experts from the international metabolomics community. The workshop established metabolite identification as the critical area, where a maximal impact of computational metabolomics and data management on other fields could be achieved. In particular, the existing four ELIXIR Use Cases, where the metabolomics community - both industry and academia - would benefit most, and which could be exhaustively mapped onto the current five ELIXIR Platforms were discussed. This opinion article is a call for support for a new ELIXIR metabolomics Use Case, which aligns with and complements the existing and planned ELIXIR Platforms and Use Cases.
