FAIR Dataset Quality Information

Document

This is the document for community guidelines of consistently curating and representing dataset quality information, in line with the FAIR principles.

Overview

This document provides resources for developing community guidelines for consistently curating and representing dataset quality information and captures the outcomes. The guidelines aims to help curate dataset quality information that is findable and accessible, machine- and human-readable, interoperable, and reusable.
