> 
> December 2022
> Welcome to the first WorldFAIR Newsletter! In this issue we introduce the project, look back at the first few months, and plan ahead with upcoming events!
> WorldFAIR at a Glance
> 
> As this is our first newsletter seven months into the project, there is some catching up to do! In this issue we will take you back to June 2022, where the WorldFAIR project launched with representatives from the European Commission and nineteen participating organisations from Europe and beyond.
> 
> A major global collaboration between partners from thirteen countries across Africa, Australasia, Europe, and North and South America, WorldFAIR will advance the implementation of the FAIR data principles and in particular those for Interoperability. The project will develop across-domain interoperability framework and recommendations for FAIR assessment in a set of eleven disciplines or cross-disciplinary research area. You can find out more about about the launch of the project in the kick-off press release <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=5aec1fe77d&e=5ee5d09511> and project launch announcement <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=fa7fcf04e1&e=5ee5d09511>. 
> 
> The WorldFAIR case studies have been carefully chosen to provide maximum impact. The objective of each case study is to develop an interoperability framework for their discipline or interdisciplinary research area. They are clustered in connected groups in order to maximise scope while retaining acritical mass of activity and allowing learning and cross-fertilisation of ideas. Collected from CODATA and RDA activities and partnerships, the case studies include leading organisations in a range of researchareas, supporting the creation of outputs with global impact.
> 
> WorldFAIR will run for 24 months from 1 June 2022 and is funded by the European Commission through its Horizon Europe Framework Programme, project call HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-01, grant agreement 101058393.
> Case Study Focus
> 
> Each month we will focus on the activities of one of the eleven WorldFAIR case studies. This month we take a closer look into Work Package 3: Chemistry 
> 
> The overarching goal of WP3 is to align chemistry data standards with the FAIR data principles through: development of guidelines, tools and validation services that enable scientists to share and store data in a FAIR manner; addressing gaps in standards that currently restrain chemistry research in both academic and industrial areas, in particular taking advantage of developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning; and adoption of standards and best practices by critical stakeholders to significantly increase the amount of chemical data available for all scientific disciplines. The WP has organised a series of talks and webinars since September 2022:

> Part of the 2nd FAIR Convergence Symposium organised by CODATA, six of the eleven WorldFAIR Case Studies presented their experiences of developing FIPs <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=85d7c48e0e&e=5ee5d09511>. The full milestone report is available on Zenodo <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=fc6ef7d4ac&e=5ee5d09511>.
> WorldFAIR was also present at the EOSC Symposium 2022 <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=48cfc65952&e=5ee5d09511>, where the project was introduced, the FIPs outputs were presented as well as the work of selected case studies. Discussions focused on identifying more precisely how WorldFAIR’s global and domain perspectives can best contribute to EOSC. WorldFAIR will help maintain a dialogue between EOSC and domain and global considerations around FAIR.
> Jill Bolland (WP12) coordinated a workshop on 'Harnessing the power of knowledge Graphs for information management during Crisis Response <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=f1aa20dcf3&e=5ee5d09511>' at ISCRAM Asia Pacific 2022 <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=3a099cea05&e=5ee5d09511>. The workshop introduced the concepts of a knowledge graph and demonstrated how it can be used during a crisis.
> Rebecca Farrington (WP5) presented on the 'Global Cooperation for Interdisciplinary FAIR Data Policy and Practice: The WorldFAIR Project and OneGeochemistry <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=64afb29e10&e=5ee5d09511>' earlier this monrh in AGU Fall Meeting 2022 <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=c4bc4f8445&e=5ee5d09511>. 
> Project Outputs
> 
> The first seven months of the WorldFAIR project have been busy, and our growing Zenodo community <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=e5327704cb&e=5ee5d09511> serves as evidence!
> 
> Report on value and utility of FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs)
> The WorldFAIR project created a range of FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs) between July and October 2022 to better understand current FAIR data-related practices. The report was published in early December and is available on Zenodo <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=7cd92b5c5f&e=5ee5d09511>. It describes the WorldFAIR project, its objectives and its rich set of Case Studies, and it introduces FIPs as a methodology for listing the FAIR implementation decisions made by a given community of practice. The report provides an overview of the initial findings from the Case Studies, and considers issues and points of discussion that emerged. Finally, it describes how the experience of using FIPs will assist each Case Study in its work to implement FAIR, and the project as a whole in the development of two key outputs: the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF), and domain-sensitive recommendations for FAIR assessment. 
> 
> WorldFAIR Project (D5.1) Formalisation of OneGeochemistry 
> The WorldFAIR Geochemistry Work Package Deliverable 5.1 <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=789a4ec3ec&e=5ee5d09511> sets out to formalise the OneGeochemistry Initiative. With the exponential growth of data volumes and production, better coordination and collaboration is needed within the Earth and Planetary Science community producing geochemical data. The mission of OneGeochemistry is to address this need and in order to do so effectively the OneGeochemistry Interim Board has become the OneGeochemistry CODATA Working Group. Becoming a CODATA Working Group gives the OneGeochemistry Initiative credibility and authority to successfully pursue a long-term governance structure and accomplish the other WorldFAIR deliverables of WP05 (Geochemistry). 
> Upcoming Events
>  
> The WorldFAIR Project's Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework, 20 March 2023, 13:00 – 16:30 UTC, part of RDA's 20th Plenary Meeting. Online and in person. 
> The goal of this event is to describe the reasoning behind the development of the Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF), to give a detailed picture of how it is currently envisioned and what activities, functions, and standards it will encompass, and to provide a current status of the work.

> 
> ‘A Decade of Data’: Celebrating 10 Years of the Research Data Alliance
> In 2023 the Research Data Alliance will celebrate its 10th Anniversary. Each month of 2023 will be dedicated to a specific theme related to research data management of relevance to the RDA community. WorldFAIR will be there with two (at least!) workshops; a WP10 event in June 2023 on 'Plant-pollinator Interactions Data', and a WP13 workshop in February 2023 on 'Image sharing systems and practices in Cultural Heritage'.
