Abstract
The marriage of conventional biomedical and environmental research with transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics technologies has created not only opportunities, but also new informatics challenges to biologists and bioinformaticians. We require new approaches to describe, store and exchange these - information intensive investigations, so that the datasets can be properly analyzed, compared and integrated. We need reporting standards agreed upon by a community for describing the way to report, for publication and dissemination, the results of a particular investigation and for making the research more accessible for the benefit of the wider scientific community. Data reporting standards, the basic pillar of data sharing, include: - Checklists, outlining the minimal requirements that should be reported - Syntax, defining the transmission formats that facilitate the exchange of the information - Semantics, adding the interpretive layer to the information. Given the high value of functional genomics and system biology information, standardization activities have moved from the fringes to centre-stage. Several grass roots, community-driven, international data standardization activities are underway to define standard reporting structure for one particular omics technologies (e.g. transcriptomics, proteomics). Discipline-specific initiatives, however, remain within each given discipline and as a consequence of this the overall standardization effort fragments, resulting in unnecessary duplication of effort, and the development of different semantics and syntaxes thereby limiting the potential for data exchange. Fortunately, there is a generally accepted view that concerted efforts are required throughout the functional genomics and reaching out to the system biology. Synergistic activities have begun already to remove redundancy and foster harmonisation and consolidation of reporting standards. By contrast, the sociological barriers can be quite challenging, mandating extensive liaison amongst communities. Also the time invested in these activities is often severely limited due to lack of resources. Face-to-face developers' workshops are critical to create consensus. Unfortunately it is very difficult to hold such workshops when no central fund exits to support the projects and when developers participate on a volunteer base, paying their own travel and accommodation expenses from wherever they can find the funds. In this proposal we are seeking funding to organize a series of hands-on workshops to ensure the coordinated development of data reporting standards. We propose to focus on the three thematic projects and with several environmental communities - both from the UK and around the globe - create the basis for developing data sharing environments, with the use cases from several biomedical and environmental communities.
Technical Summary
This application is guided by the requirements of the RSBI, a working group bringing together several biomedical and environmental communities to tackle the challenges associated with reporting complex investigations employing multiple omics' technologies. RSBI works under the assumption that no one group or community can solve the challenges of developing reporting standards for the functional genomics domain. Although established MGED Society (e.g microarray-based transcriptomics) umbrella, RSBI has always worked in the wider functional genomics context, through extensive liaisons with other standard efforts such as the PSI, the MSI and the GSC. There is a generally accepted view that the need to harmonise and consolidate reporting standards is unarguable. From a technical perspective, it will be necessary to remove redundancies and fill the gaps between the domains covered by checklists, exchange formats and terminologies. These are difficult but not insurmountable tasks and our workshops aim to facilitate synergistic activities, by bringing together the key developers of the grass roots communities to focus on the: - MIcheck project, promoting gradual integration of minimal information checklists - FuGE project, providing a model of common components for exchange format development - OBI project, delivering an set of common terms to support semantic integration Ultimately, data reporting standards create the basis for developing data sharing environments. A crucial outcome of our workshops is set of common practice descriptions and documentation of progress in a clear and understandable manner for the relevant target communities (e.g. developers) so that the standards can be widely used once reaching a mature stage. The development of data standards is an iterative process and gaining community buy-in can be also a long process. We are confident that these workshops will play a crucial role in the developmental phase and in the consensus-building process.

| Description | FAIRsharing and Data Stewardship Wizard |
| Organisation | Czech Technical University in Prague |
| Country | Czech Republic |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) is a tool for data management planning. Prof. Sansone's group runs FAIRsharing, a community-recognized curated, informative and educational resource that interlinks community standards to databases, repositories and data policies (by funders and policies). We have worked with the DSW team to surface the right level of information from FAIRsharing to the DSW users, via the respective tools' APIs. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The DSW has accessed relevant FAIRsharing content and displaied for selection to the users, when they define a data management plan. |
| Impact | The questioning in the Data Stewardship Wizard is modelled after the conversation a researcher could have with a data management expert; most questions are closed questions with a limited set of possible answers. Answers on standards and repositories are obtained from linked services, such as FAIRsharing, as illustrated in this figure: https://datascience.codata.org/articles/10.5334/dsj-2019-059/dsj-18-954-g1.png/?action=download |

| PI Contribution | The terms4FAIRskills project aims to create a formalised terminology that describes the competencies, skills and knowledge associated with making and keeping data FAIR. When mature, this terminology will apply to a variety of use cases, including: - To assist with the creation and assessment of stewardship curricula; - To facilitate the annotation, discovery and evaluation of FAIR-enabling materials (e.g. training) and resources; - To enable the formalisation of job descriptions and CVs with recognised, structured competencies.

| PI Contribution | The terms4FAIRskills project aims to create a formalised terminology that describes the competencies, skills and knowledge associated with making and keeping data FAIR. When mature, this terminology will apply to a variety of use cases, including: - To assist with the creation and assessment of stewardship curricula; - To facilitate the annotation, discovery and evaluation of FAIR-enabling materials (e.g. training) and resources; - To enable the formalisation of job descriptions and CVs with recognised, structured competencies.

| Organisation | Center for Open Science (COS) |
| Country | United States |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | The Center for Open Science (COS, cos.io) is a non-profit technology company with a mission to increase the openness, integrity, and reproducibility of research. It works to achieve this mission through meta-scientific research to quantify the barriers to reproducibility, advocacy and outreach to stakeholder organizations to remove those barriers, summarized in the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guidelines (cos.io/top), and builds infrastructure to enable these solutions (osf.io). Based in Pro. Sansone group in Oxford, FAIRsharing (fairsharing.org) is a curated, informative and educational resource on data and metadata standards, inter-related to repositories and data policies. FAIRsharing guides consumers to discover, select and use these resources with confidence, and producers to make their resources more findable, more widely adopted and cited. In this context, the organizations are carrying out a joint project to increase the number and the clarity of journal and research funder policies that effectively incentivize data sharing, among other goals. The TOP Guidelines consist of eight specific standards that funder and publishers of scientific research can use to implement better research practices. The FAIRsharing registry exists to bring clarity and discoverability to existing data policies. By working together these two organizations will classify the recommendations these policies contain, to improve their definition, comparability and ultimately clarity of guidance to the users (authors and awardees). Initially, an exemplar set of policies, already in FAIRsharing, has been commonly curated and their compliance to the TOP Data Transparency standard assessed; a mechanism will be developed to display the level of compliance in FAIRsharing. Progressively, the work will expand to cover more policies; additional sorting and discovery features will be added to help users to find and compare policies. |
| Collaborator Contribution | COS team has developed the TOP standard and calculated the score of these policies. |
| Impact | A growing number of policies (from funders and journals: https://fairsharing.org/policies/) have a TOP Level Data Transparency score visible in their FAIRsharing record; for example here is the PLOS record in FAIRsharing https://fairsharing.org/FAIRsharing.t2exm showing a TOP Level Data Transparency: 2. |

| PI Contribution | DataCite is a leading global non-profit organization, that provides persistent identifiers (DOIs) with a focus on research data. DataCite's portfolio of services provide the means to create, find, cite, connect, and use research. Based in my group, FAIRsharing is a curated, informative and educational resource on data and metadata standards, inter-related to repositories and data policies. FAIRsharing guides consumers to discover, select and use these resources with confidence, and producers to make their resources more findable, more widely adopted and cited. Both organizations aim to advance and enable FAIR research data. This joint effort between DataCite and FAIRsharing is set to improve, in collaboration with several leading publishers, the criteria used by journal publishers for the recommendation of research data repositories for the benefit of the broader research community. Our contribution has been to bring together publishers (Cambridge University Press, eLife, Elsevier, EMBO Press, F1000, Oxford University Press's GigaScience, PLOS, Springer Nature's Scientific Data, Taylor and Francis, Hindawi, and Wiley) that were part of the FAIRsharing network.

This joint effort between DataCite and FAIRsharing is set to improve, in collaboration with several leading publishers, the criteria used by journal publishers for the recommendation of research data repositories for the benefit of the broader research community. Our contribution has been to bring together publishers (Cambridge University Press, eLife, Elsevier, EMBO Press, F1000, Oxford University Press's GigaScience, PLOS, Springer Nature's Scientific Data, Taylor and Francis, Hindawi, and Wiley) that were part of the FAIRsharing network. We have also lead the discussion that has resulted in the proposed criteria, and written the article and run a survey to collect community feedback. |
