From Standards Records

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

Please add any relationships that this standard 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 standard 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 standard as accurately as possible, to showcase its attributes as well as its integration within the broader research landscape. An example relationship would be when a standard profiles another standard, e.g. the World Meteorological Organization Core Metadata Profile, which profiles ISO 19115:2003.

Full list of standard relationships

This table summarises only those relationships available from within Standards records. Other documentation in this section covers databases, data policies, 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 standards available in FAIRsharing.

profiles	Any standard to any other standard	This standard is a profile of another standard, e.g. the Energy Industry Profile (EIP) v1.1 of ISO-19115-1:2014, which profiles ISO 19115-1:2014.	RELATED STANDARDS
extends	Any standard to any other standard	This resource extends or builds upon another resource	RELATED STANDARDS
part_of	Any principle record to any other principle record	Shows which 'parent' principle any given principle belongs to	RELATED STANDARDS
deprecates	Any standard to any other standard of the same type	The linked resource has been retired as it is no longer active or actively maintained	RELATED STANDARDS
recommends	any policy to any database, standard, or FAIRassist record	This relationship is not accessible from a standard record; however, any policies that recommend your standard 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 standard 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 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.

Here's an example of adding an extends relationship to a standard:
