The HMC FAIR Data Dashboard: A Data-Driven Approach to Monitor and Improve FAIR Data in the Helmholtz Association

Here we present the latest updates of our data-driven approach to monitoring and assessing the state of open and FAIR data in the Helmholtz Association. The approach consists of two parts: a modular data harvesting-, validation- and assessment pipeline, and a dashboard with interactive statistics about the Helmholtz-data publications identified. The dashboard provides insight into which data repositories research communities use to publish research data and allows for assessing systematic gaps of this data with respect to selected FAIR data principles. We illustrate how the approach can be used to engage communities and infrastructure towards an improved FAIR data landscape.
