# Abbreviation

{% hint style="info" %}
Providing both a full name and abbreviation for your resource increases the likelihood that the FAIRsharing community will find your resource and the digital objects/data that might make use of it in alignment with [F2: Data are described with rich metadata](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/f2-data-described-rich-metadata/).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
The abbreviation is **optional** for all FAIRsharing records.

*Please also see the general information regarding our* [*minimal curation requirements*](/fairsharing/record-sections-and-fields/how-to-update-a-record.md#minimal-curation-requirements)*.*
{% endhint %}

Please add the official or commonly-used abbreviation for the resource here (e.g. MIAME). If there is no abbreviation, you can leave this field blank.
