FAIR data quality: the need for standard operating procedures in an institutional repository

As an institutional data repository, DataverseNL offers the technical infrastructure and therefore the framework that shapes the functional possibilities. However, on an institutional level, the operating procedures need to be established, formalized, and implemented. In this workshop, we explore the status quo of operating procedures in various institutions that make use of DataverseNL, with the aim of identifying common issues, and, most importantly, sharing existing experiences and practices. The first part of the workshop consisted of a plenary session with presentations of the Fontys Hogeschool and UMC Utrecht. In the second part of the workshop, participants could dive deeper into particular elements of the standard procedures, such as data selection, richness of the metadata, data access conditions, data deletion after the retention period, data re-appraisal. A summary of these discussions is included in the deposit. This workshop was given on the 16th of September 2025 at 10th Anniversary Celebration of DataverseNL.
