Title Continued improvements to the ISA toolkit: the new graphql interface and RDF representation of ISA. 
Description The open source ISA framework and tools help to manage an increasingly diverse set of life science, environmental and biomedical experiments that employing one or a combination of technologies. Started in 2003 and first released in 2007, the ISA tools (http://isa-tools.org) have been developed over time by the Oxford team and collaborators or directly contributed by partnering contributors, via the ISA Commons collaborative community (https://www.isacommons.org Key work over the last year is the development of two new components, graphql interface to query ISA documents and a RDF representation of ISA in obo, sdo or wikidata (as part of the Wellcome Trust award, 2018-2021), a collaborative project with the University of Cambridge's InterMine team.

Year Produced 2019 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact Community use and impact is tracked via the ISA Commons, which currently has over 50 international groups, projects, and organizations that use and contribute to the development of components of the ISA metadata tracking framework. Therefore, we can say that the ISA user base ranges from hundreds to thousands of researchers from increasingly diverse domains (ranging from -omics, cell-based research, biomedical nanotechnology, plant phenotyping, toxicology, biodiversity, metagenomics, stem cell research, system biology, neuroscience, microbial science and immunology), and goes beyond researchers, curators, others resource developers and service providers, to also include journals. The ISA framework is currently embedded in a number of UK, EC and NIH and pharma funded infrastructure and research projects; here are exemplars from the ELIXIR UK Node and other Nodes: (i) EMBL-EBI MetaboLights' new web-based submission relies on ISA-JSON format to build web component and on the ISA-API to validate, convert experiments represented in ISA objects. (ii) BBSRC-funded COPO infrastructure relies on the ISA API, ISA-JSON serialization and on the ISA configurations to support plant-based experiment molecular profiling experiments; it also used the ISAconverter to deposit to the ENA database. (iii) ELIXIR-UK Node partners, University of Birmingham and Imperial College London use ISA Galaxy Tools, ISA-API and ISA validator - as part of their work in the UK Phenome Centre - to collect data prospectively but also organise public deposition to repositories. (iv) ELIXIR Plant Community's MIAPPE standards and BrAPI rely on availability of ISA parsers and validation tools in the context of data validation programs.

Title Supporting data for "ISA API: An open platform for interoperable life science experimental metadata" 
Description The Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA) Metadata Framework is an established and widely used set of open-source community specifications and software tools for enabling discovery, exchange and publication of metadata from experiments in the life sciences. The original ISA software suite provided a set of user-facing Java tools for creating and manipulating the information structured in ISA-Tab - a now widely used tabular format. To make the ISA framework more accessible to machines and enable programmatic manipulation of experiment metadata, a JSON serialization ISA-JSON was developed. In this work, we present the ISA API, a Python library for the creation, editing, parsing, and validating of ISA-Tab and ISA-JSON formats by using a common data model engineered as Python object classes. We describe the ISA API feature set, early adopters and its growing user community. The ISA API provides users with rich programmatic metadata handling functionality to support automation, a common interface and an interoperable medium between the two ISA formats, as well as with other life science data formats required for depositing data in public databases.

Description FAIRsharing Community Champions Programme 
Organisation Research Data Alliance (RDA)
Country Global 
Sector Charity/Non Profit 
PI Contribution Under the auspices of RDA Europe and EOSC Future, FAIRsharing has now officially launched our new Community Curation Programme: https://fairsharing.org/community_champions. This Programme creates a collaborative environment where domain experts are selected to oversee certain areas within the FAIRsharing registry in return for a number of professional benefits. The domain and discipline experts of the FAIRsharing Community Champions Programme: 1 . act as advocates to promote the value of standards, databases and policies for digital objects (incl. data, software). 2 . create educational material escribing these resources helping researchers and other stakeholders to find, use and adopt them. 3 . enrich the content of FAIRsharing, adding and enhancing the description and discoverability of these resources. The FAIRsharing Community Champions put their expertise into action in one of more disciplines or area of activities, according to their interest, and are credited for their contribution via visible attribution in their ORCID and FAIRsharing profiles. Their contribution to and engagement with the FAIRsharing team gives them more knowledge about the wealth of standards (terminologies, models/formats, guidelines, identifier schema), databases (repositories and knowledge bases) and policies (by institutions, funders, journals and other stakeholders) relevant to them.
Collaborator Contribution RDA and EOSC-Future have provide some seed funds and an umbrella to advertise it and engage with the community at large.
Impact The first 18 Community Champtions, across all disciplines, are in place: https://fairsharing.org/community_champions/our_champions and have contributed to the creation of Educational material https://fairsharing.org/educational

Description FAIRsharing and DCC 
Organisation University of Edinburgh
Department Digital Curation Centre (DCC)
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution FAIRsharing and the DCC (on behalf of the FAIRsFAIR project) have collaborated to align the following policy metadata resources: (i) FAIRsharing policy record metadata; (ii) The FAIRsFAIR FAIR Data Policy Checklist and related structured policy description template, and (iii) RDA: Developing a Research Data Policy Framework for All Journals and Publishers (referred hereafter as "RDA Journal Policy Features"). FAIRsharing has curated its policy records
Collaborator Contribution DCC (in FAIRsFAIR project) have developed the checklist.
Impact As a result of this collaboration, all checklist fields and RDA-endorsed policy features within the scope of FAIRsharing are available within FAIRsharing policy records. This creates a FAIR data policy "workflow" from a) FAIR Data Policy Checklist to b) deposition of the policy and assignment of a DOI, through to c) submission of that policy into FAIRsharing. This process helps create FAIR-aligned data policies, as FAIR metadata will be accessible to both humans (through policy publication and the creation of the FAIRsharing record) and machines (through the FAIRsharing API). The result will be data policies that are more findable, accessible and re-usable.

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 Scholarly publishers are working together to maximize efficiency during COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring that key work related to COVID-19 is reviewed and published as quickly and openly as possible. The Initiative, which grew from a need to improve efficiency of peer review and publishing of crucial COVID-19 research, began in April 2020 and now involves over 20 publishers, industry experts, and scholarly communication organizations, supporting over 1,800 rapid reviewers across relevant fields. FAIRsharing is part of this initiative, because making data available is not enough, sharing it via the appropriate repositories -that also implement the relevant data and metadata standards- is essential.
Collaborator Contribution The COVID Rapid Review Initiative members will register their data policy in FAIRsharing; these data policies will be grouped and visible under a dedicated FAIRsharing Collection. The use of repositories and community standards are at the core of FAIR, the globally adopted Principles advocating datasets and other research outputs are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.

Description FAIRsharing and the Centre for Open Science 
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.

Description ISA Commons 
Organisation ISA Commons
Sector Charity/Non Profit 
PI Contribution We have helped many users, service providers and other developers to implement one or more components of the ISA software suite at their site to fit their data needs.
Collaborator Contribution They have helped us to refine the ISA software suite, filling gaps and tuning it for certain data types.
Impact The ISA Commons is a growing ecosystem of institute-based (e.g. USA NASA GeneLab Data Repository) and global repositories (e.g. EMBL-EBI MetaboLights), as well as data-driven journals (e.g. Springer Nature Scientific Data) that use the ISA formats, and/or are powered by one or more component of the ISA software suite. But also grass-root standards groups that leverage on the ISA data model and formats. The sustainability and maintenance of the ISA data model, formats, and tools, is guided by the ISA Working Group.
Start Year 2010
 
Title ISA Model and Serialization 
Description The original ISA-Tab specification was published as a Release Candidate document in 2008, documenting the initial work that forms the ISA framework, with a further update in 2009. Since then, we have done work on a new serialization in JSON, ISA-JSON, and abstracted out the data model from both the tabular and JSON formats. 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2016 
Open Source License? Yes  
Impact Serialisations implemented by several ISA components; the documentation also helps other users to implement ISA formats. 
URL http://isa-tools.org/2016/10/release-of-the-isa-specs/
 
Title ISA Python API 
Description The ISA API aims to provide software developers with a set of tools to help you easily and quickly build your own ISA objects, validate, and convert between serializations of ISA-formatted datasets and other formats/schemas (e.g. SRA schemas). The ISA API is published on PyPI as the isatools package. 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2017 
Open Source License? Yes  
Impact The vision for the ISA API is to provide a programming library that will become the core for all software tooling that supports the ISA framework. It enables the import of various data formats into an implementation of the ISA Abstract Model as Python objects, and export of ISA content from Python objects back to different serialization formats. 
URL http://isa-tools.org/2017/01/isa-api-milestone/
 
Title ISA software suite (built iteratively, component by component) 
Description The open source ISA framework and tools help to manage an increasingly diverse set of life science, environmental and biomedical experiments that employing one or a combination of technologies. Built around the 'Investigation' (the project context), 'Study' (a unit of research) and 'Assay' (analytical measurement) data model and serializations (tabular, JSON and RDF), the ISA framework helps you to provide rich description of the experimental metadata (i.e. sample characteristics, technology and measurement types, sample-to-data relationships) so that the resulting data and discoveries are reproducible and reusable. 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2010 
Open Source License? Yes  
Impact Growing number of users, as listed at http://isacommons.org; but also of co-developers have and are contributing to the collaborative enhancements. 
URL http://isa-tools.org/
 
Title ISA tooling for the metabolomics community 
Description A new set of ISA software tools have been developed out of the EU H2020 PhenoMeNal: Large-Scale Computing for Medical Metabolomics project (http://phenomenal-h2020.eu/home). The ISA team has been contributing to the project since 2015, and has been collaborating on the development of user-facing, cloud-based data management and processing infrastructure in the project. The PhenoMeNal software includes a new set of ISA-related Galaxy workflow tools, as well as native support for the ISA-Tab format in Galaxy. 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2018 
Open Source License? Yes  
Impact The tools work with the EBI MetaboLights database as well as with ISA-Tab studies uploaded directly into the Galaxy platform, and builds on the Python ISA-API. The Metabolights' use of ISA-API: Python-based REST service relying on the ISA-API https://github.com/EBI-Metabolights/MtblsWS-Py 
URL http://isa-tools.org/2018/03/isa-galaxy-developed-for-metabolomics/
 
Title ISA-API Python library 
Description Project name: ISA-API Project home page: http://github.com/ISA-tools/isa-api Operating system(s): Platform independent Programming language: Python 3 Other requirements: None License: CPAL-1.0 ISA-API, a Python library that supports the creation, editing, parsing, and validatiation of both ISA-Tab and ISA-JSON formats, using a common data model implemented as native Python objects. 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2018 
Open Source License? Yes  
Impact This provides users with a common interface and interoperable medium between the two ISA formats, as well as conversion to a set of other formats required for depositing data in public databases.
