From FAIRassist Records

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

Metrics

Every metric must be linked to exactly ONE principle record from any given principle hierarchy via the measures_principle relation. This relationship shows which 'owning' principle the metric belongs to, and as such should be used for the narrowest principle record possible (e.g. FAIR F1 GUID rather than the FAIR Principles as a whole). While a metric may measure principles from more than one principle hierarchy (e.g. a metric may be appropriate both for a FAIR principle and a FAIR4RS principle), it CANNOT point to more than one principle from the same hierarchy.

It is recommended that you provide all relationships that this metric has with other resources registered in FAIRsharing; ideally, at least one related_to should be used to describe any relationships the metric may have, e.g. to standards (such as the format(s) relevant to the correct implementation of the metric).

Benchmarks

A benchmark must link to the set of metrics it incorporates via the has_associated_metric relation.

All FAIRassist records

Please add any other relationships that this FAIRassist record has with other resources registered in FAIRsharing.

Please also see the general information regarding our minimal curation requirements.

FAIRsharing record relationships allow you to enumerate all of the ways in which your metric or benchmark 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 metric or benchmark as accurately as possible, to showcase its attributes as well as its integration within the broader research landscape.

Full list of FAIRassist relationships

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

Label	Restrictions	Description	Display location
related_to	Any FAIRassist record to any other standard, database or FAIRassist record.	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 STANDARDS, RELATED DATABASES, or RELATED FAIRASSIST COMPONENTS
measures_principle	Every metric must be linked to exactly ONE principle record from any given principle hierarchy. Should be used for the narrowest principle record possible (e.g. FAIR F1 GUID rather than the FAIR Principles as a whole)	Shows which 'owning' principle(s) any given metric belongs to	RELATED STANDARDS
has_associated_metric	Any benchmark record to any metrics records.	Shows which metrics any given benchmark incorporates	RELATED FAIRASSIST COMPONENTS
part_of	Any metric record to any other metric record	Shows which 'parent' metric any given metric belongs to	RELATED FAIRASSIST COMPONENTS
deprecates	Any FAIRassist record to any other FAIRassist record of the same type	The linked resource has been retired as it is no longer active or actively maintained	RELATED FAIRASSIST COMPONENTS
recommends	any policy to any database, standard, or FAIRassist record	This relationship is not accessible from a FAIRassist record; however, any policies that recommend a FAIRassist record will be automatically displayed.	IN POLICIES
collects	any collection to any database, standard, collection, policy, or FAIRassist record	This relationship is not accessible from a FAIRassist record; however, any collections that include a FAIRassist 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 a 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.
