> February 2024 
> Welcome to the February WorldFAIR Newsletter! In this issue we present six new published reports by our Case Studies, and launch the webinar series for 2024 announcing the first event from Chemistry and Nanomaterials. 
> WorldFAIR at a Glance
> The WorldFAIR project works with a set of 11 disciplinary and cross-disciplinary case studies to advance implementation of the FAIR principles and, in particular, to improve interoperability and reusability of digital research objects, including data.
> 
> Our monthly newsletters provide summaries of all our activities - if you missed the previous editions, you can catch up on the WorldFAIR Newsletter archive <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=d8023b1351&e=5ee5d09511>.
> Project Deliverables
> 
> WorldFAIR Training Package: FAIR Chemistry Cookbook (D3.2)
> The purpose of this deliverable is to develop a digital web resource that will support various user groups in the chemical sciences and allied fields with training in the FAIR principles and machine-readable chemical data. This “Cookbook” serves as a toolbox of interactive recipes for implementing FAIR at various levels and for various user experience levels, ranging from educators who need demonstration resources for instruction, to students who learn by doing, to practitioners who need a quick orientation on a tool or resource.

> 
> WorldFAIR FAIRification of nanoinformatics tools and models recommendations (D4.2)
> This deliverable is targeted towards nanoinformatics model developers and presents a set of recommendations and prototypes for FAIRification of nanoinformatics tools and models. It is also addressing FAIRification of the underpinning (and resulting) datasets, and it provides an analysis of the direction FAIRification of nanoinformatics software could/should take.

> 
> WorldFAIR Pilot Testing Harmonisation Workflows (D6.3)
> This report tests out proof-of-concept implementations of the workflows outlined in the second WP report <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=ee10edda61&e=5ee5d09511>, to trial the use of standardised workflows based on registry services available at the Australian Data Archive (ADA) and Sikt through their respective Colectica registries. The workflow steps are piloted with the International Social Survey Program (ISSP), to evaluate the Cross-Cultural Survey Harmonisation workflow as a suitable process for machine-to-machine based survey harmonisation.

> 
> WorldFAIR Agricultural Biodiversity Standards, Best Practices and Guidelines Recommendations (D10.2)
> This report presents the results from the pilot phase of the Case Study. Our effort demonstrates there are several possible paths for FAIRification, tailored to institutional needs, and we have shown that different approaches can contribute to promoting data interoperability and data availability for reuse. We have established concrete guidelines on FAIR data best practices customised for pollination data, metadata, and other digital objects, promoting the scalable adoption of these standards and FAIR data best practices by multiple initiatives.

> WorldFAIR Agricultural Biodiversity Standards, Best Practices and Guidelines Recommendations (D10.2): Tutorial
> The aim of this tutorial is to facilitate the standardisation of any spreadsheet containing plant-pollinator interaction data, and sharing the final product in the REBIPP platform.

> 
> WorldFAIR Agricultural biodiversity FAIR data assessment rubrics (D10.3)
> We introduce a set of FAIR assessment tools tailored to the plant-pollinator interactions domain. We present a ‘Rubric for the assessment of Plant-Pollinator Interactions Data’ and conduct ‘dataset assessments’ of available data from research projects surveyed in the discovery phase.

> Creating, Retaining and Sharing Embedded Digital Image Metadata at IDCC24
> Kathryn Cassidy, Senior Software Engineer at DRI <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=aa773a1fb5&e=5ee5d09511>, presented the lightning talk “Creating, Retaining and Sharing Embedded Digital Image Metadata” which presented the results of a DRI member survey on 2D digitization workflows, also touching on the work carried out under WorldFAIR. More about the event and Kathry's presentation can be found on the dedicated website <https://worldfair-project.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=232d062cde2fc6e2aae0c242c&id=6674338fde&e=5ee5d09511>.
