From Data Policy Records

A summary of all of the relations that you may use when editing a policy record

FAIRsharing record relationships allow you to enumerate all of the ways in which your policy is related to other resources within the wider ecosystem of research standards, databases, policies and FAIR assistance components. The corresponding Relation Graph for your record will not only showcase your resource's interoperability but also your collaborations and engagement with your community.

Our goal is to represent your policy as accurately as possible, to showcase its attributes as well as its integration within the broader research landscape.

Full list of policy relationships

This table summarises only those relationships available from within Policy records. Other documentation in this section covers standards, databases, FAIRassist records, collections and organisations. The Display Location column below tells you where each relationship can be found in our record display.

You may also wish to review the types of policies available in FAIRsharing.

Label	Restrictions	Description	Display location
related_to	Any policy to any other policy	This is our most generic relationship, and can be used between most record types. Use this if the more fine-grained relationships are not applicable.	RELATED POLICIES
extends	A policy to any other policy	This resource extends or builds upon another 'parent' policy. Policies using this relationship to link to a 'parent' policy recommend both 1) the resources listed directly within the record, and 2) all resources listed in this record's parent policies.	RELATED POLICIES
recommends	any policy to any database, standard, or FAIRassist record	A standard, database, or FAIRassist record can be recommended by a data policy	RELATED STANDARDS, RELATED DATABASES, or RELATED FAIRASSIST COMPONENTS
deprecates	Any policy to any other policy of the same type	The linked resource has been retired as it is no longer active or actively maintained	RELATED POLICIES
collects	any collection to any database, standard, collection, policy, or FAIRassist record	This relationship is not accessible from a policy record; however, any collections that include your record will be automatically displayed.	IN COLLECTIONS

You may layer these relationships to more precisely describe what is available to your users. As the maintainer of a record, choose the level of detail that best expresses the relationships your resource has with the wider research landscape.

Adding your record to another data policy that recommends it or a 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.
