Met het behalen van certificering voor jouw digitaal archief maak je inzichtelijk dat de duurzaamheid en betrouwbaarheid van het archief gewaarborgd is. Op de Wegwijzer Certificering voor digitale archieven vind je hulp voor instellingen met een digitaal archief, die aan de slag willen gaan of al bezig zijn met certificering van digitale archieven. NDE-dienstenmanager Ilona von Stein (DANS) vertelt je graag meer over de vernieuwde Wegwijzer en beantwoordt al jullie vragen.

In addition to the CoreTrustSeal Requirements, which remain stable for the period 2020–2022, this document provides the Extended Guidance for CoreTrustSeal reviewers and applicants. The Extended Guidance text may be updated during the period 2020–2022 subject to approval by the CoreTrustSeal Board. The document also contains a reference to the Glossary of Terms. The document is intended to maximize consistency of reviews across the wide range of CoreTrustSeal applicants. The primary audience is reviewers, but it is also useful for applicants when preparing an application self-assessment.

With this deliverable, we have translated those recommendations into practical Why-, What-, and How-reference cards that aid data and service providers in that EOSC-hub service ecosystem with the implementation of data sharing policies.

FAIRsFAIR provides support and capacity building, including materials, training and advice for repository managers to improve their knowledge of activities related to the preparations for CoreTrustSeal self-assessments. The objectives of the workshop were to: Consider long-term preservation planning and its benefits to repositories. Discuss the broader view on preservation planning in relation to CoreTrustSeal requirements. Share best practices of achieving long-term preservation planning. The workshop participants were the representatives of the ten repositories that have been selected for the Certification Support Programme, a part of the FAIRsFAIR work package 4 (FAIR Certification). In the presentation slides, you will find two examples of preservation plans (DANS, the Netherlands and th...

Het Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed heeft drie tools ontwikkeld die een helpende hand kunnen bieden: de Wegwijzer Duurzaamheidsbeleid de Wegwijzer Voorkeursformaten en de Wegwijzer Certificering Ontwikkeld binnen het NDE, beheerd door respectievelijk de Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed, elf samenwerkende Regionale Historische Centra en DANS. In dit artikel vertellen de drie beheerders over deze hulpmiddelen.

Met een online lancering op 25 maart 2021 heeft Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) het beheer van de wegwijzer onder zijn hoede genomen. Deze workshop Wegwijzer Certificering neemt je aan de hand van praktijkcases mee in de gloednieuwe wegwijzer. We leggen uit wat certificering is, wat het betekent voor de betrouwbaarheid van je digitale archief en laten zien wat er nodig is bij het opzetten en uitvoeren van een CoreTrustSeal certificeringstraject. Ook laten we zien hoe je de hulpmiddelen uit de wegwijzer voor je eigen instelling kunt gebruiken.

This initiative supports ten selected repositories throughout Europe in obtaining their CoreTrustSeal certification. The purpose of this presentation, attended by representatives of the selected repositories, was to help them finalise their draft CoreTrustSeal self-assessments. For more information on this support initiative, please see this article on the FAIRsFAIR website.

It strongly builds on EOSC-hub D2.8 (First Data policy recommendations) by translating these first policy recommendations into four reference cards that together form the Service Provider's Guide to Data Sharing Policies. D2.9 sets out to contribute to the developing field of data sharing policies in the EOSC.

Through this certification support workshop, which is the third output in the FAIRsFAIR Certification Support Programme. FAIRsFAIR provides support and capacity building including materials, training and advice for repository managers to improve their knowledge of activities related to the preparations for CoreTrustSeal self-assessments. Participants to this workshop were representatives of the ten repositories that have been selected for the Certification Support initiative, part of FAIRsFAIR Work Package 4 on FAIR Certification. Prior to this workshop, FAIRsFAIR has conducted a survery among the ten repositories. With the survey, we identified common issues that arose during the CoreTrustSeal self-assessment progress. In the presentation, you see the visual ranking of the issues that were most prevalent among repository representatives. During this workshop, we chose to address is...

This paper introduces the in-depth support programme created by FAIRsFAIR and shares the successes, common challenges and lessons learned. It details the support and guidance provided for repository managers as well as for CoreTrustSeal Reviewers. This work also provides recommendations for developing a support programme towards repository certification.

This report provides an update of the FAIR assessment metrics developed by the task 4.5 team and describes in detail two practical tools for assessing the FAIRness of research data during data acquisition, and for data already archived in a trusted data repository. The tools are named FAIR-Aware, and F-UJI. The report also presents a badging scheme for visualising and sharing the FAIR level of individual datasets.

This includes helping them make and keep their data FAIR and preparing them for the CoreTrustSeal certification as trustworthy repositories.<br> In return, the repositories share their invaluable knowledge on how trustworthy repository practices best enable FAIR data. Their observations and common issues in the certification process help create better guidance and support material for the wider repository community, developing recommendations for integrating FAIR into the CoreTrustSeal requirements.

It seeks to present some key concepts and expand on them to specify the standards and assessments required for an interoperable ecosystem of FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data preserved for the long term in generalist and specialist FAIR-enabling trustworthy digital repositories (TDR) for a defined designated community of users. It seeks to provide context and define these concepts for audiences familiar with research data and technical data management systems, but with less direct experience of digital preservation and trustworthy digital repositories. This is intended to help clarify which organisations are potential candidates to receive CoreTrustSeal TDR status and to identify and support the types of organisations that may not be candidates but also play a vital role in the data ecosystem.

Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDR) which enable FAIR data are a dependency for many components of modern, open, distributed research. This paper sets the work within the wider context of data infrastructures, describes the co-dependencies between (meta) data objects and their repository environment, and presents the developing mapping between requirements and principles. The evolving capability/maturity approach is explained and the design of a governed assessment and certification process is defined. This work will iterate alongside the wide range of ongoing data infrastructure initiatives to support a range of stakeholders on their journey towards trustworthy repository services that enable FAIR data. Extensive engagement and feedback are planned to allow us to reach this goal. Feedback is welcomed either directly to the author...
