FAIR Digital Objects (FAIR DOs) describe a concept of virtual data objects that has been developed and used by RDA in various Working and Interest Groups. FAIR DOs may represent data, software or other research resources. They are uniquely identified by a Persistent Identifier (PID) and metadata rich enough to enable them to be reliably found, used and cited. An important characteristic of FAIR DOs is that they are not only machine-readable but also machine-actionable. FAIR DOs are currently discussed world-wide, in many RDA groups, in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), as well as in other initiatives with the need to design and develop large integrative research data infrastructures to facilitate findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (FAIR).

The objectives of the meeting are:

• Introducing the group
• Motivate people to become contributing members
• Working plan for the next 6 months
• Collection of technical components contributing to FAIR Digital Objects
