From Standards Records

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

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.

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.

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:

Choose "Edit Record", navigate to the "Relations to other records" tab, and choose your relationship.
