The RDA FAIR Data Maturity Model WG’s goal is to develop and maintain an RDA recommendation on a common set of core assessment criteria for FAIRness, plus a self-assessment model suitable for a wide range of disciplines and applications. The RDA Persistent Identification of Instruments WG is exploring a community-driven solution for globally unique identification of measuring instruments operated in the sciences. This session will unite the goals of these working groups by discussing the integration and assessment of FAIR principles at an early stage of research (data collection) while enhancing and standardizing the metadata associated with instrumentation during data measurement and collection.
We propose to feature speakers from the FAIR Data Maturity Model and Persistent Identification of Instruments WGs to frame the discussion, plus 3 invited speakers with expertise in instrument development and integration of metadata collection to instrumentation across a range of scientific disciplines to speak to challenges and opportunities in this area. The plenary will begin with short presentations (5 min) from each speaker, followed by a moderated panel discussion. We propose to focus on the challenges facing data collection ranging from the bench scale (chemical and biological sciences) to complex global monitoring networks (often employed in earth and environmental sciences disciplines ranging from oceanography to atmospheric science).

Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
FAIR Data Maturity Group Working Group
The RDA FAIR Data Maturity Group was established at the end of 2018 with the objective to bring together stakeholders from different scientific and research disciplines, the industry and public sector, who are active and/or interested in the FAIR data principles and in particular in assessment criteria and methodologies for evaluating their real-life uptake and implementation level. The Working Group completed an RDA Recommendation, a common set of core assessment criteria for FAIRness and a generic and expandable self-assessment model for measuring the maturity level of a dataset. The group has over 250 members representing a wide range of disciplines and regions around the world.
Persistent Identification of Instruments Working Group
The Persistent Identification of Instruments Working Group seeks to explore a community-driven solution for globally unique identification of measuring instruments operated in the sciences. Our objectives are to recommend a metadata profile to describe instruments that harmonises existing identification standards and complements existing metadata schemas; to explore methodology/technology to register and resolve the new PID; and to operationalise the solution by engaging existing PID infrastructure providers, instrument developers and manufacturers, as well as instrument database providers.

Meeting objectives
Making datasets FAIR requires all research stakeholders. In this session we explore the challenges and opportunities within the instrument manufacturing community and how RDA can support this community with the goal of incorporating FAIR principles into data collection at an earlier stage. This will enable researchers to more easily compile accessible, meaningful metadata to accompany their datasets, making the data from a broad type of instruments more FAIR.

Target Audience
Researchers, instrument engineers and developers, data service owners, funders and infrastructures from different scientific and research disciplines, the industry and public sector, who are active and/or interested in the FAIR data principles and in particular in assessment criteria and methodologies for evaluating their real-life uptake and implementation level.
We are interested to meet the newcomers and those are starting their FAIR journey, especially for research instruments, but also those that are implementing methods around the globe.
