From Collections

Here is a summary of all of the relations used between two records in FAIRsharing.

Label	Restrictions	Description	Display location
collects	Any collection to any database, standard, collection or policy	A Collection can collect standards, databases and data policies based on a project, initiative or infrastructure	Collection search section
deprecates	Any collection to any collection	The linked resource has been retired as it is no longer active or actively maintained	General information card

You may layer these relationships to more precisely describe what is available to your users. For instance, you may create a series of nested collections, organising your "slices" of FAIRsharing data in a hierarchy according to your needs. As the maintainer of a record, you can choose the level of detail; as with most FAIRsharing metadata, we are here to help you provide the level of detail that is most useful to your stakeholders. You can use the "related to" relationship, or can choose to itemise all or some of the different types of relationships you have with other resources; it's up to you.

Adding your record to a data policy that recommends it or another collection that collects it requires updates to that policy or collection; such edits cannot be performed in your own record. If you would like your record added to a policy or collection, please get in touch with our curation team.
