Convergence Matrix Process Overview. The questionnaire is composed and
maintained by FAIR Experts, an effort was made to ensure broad coverage of
technologies and other Resources and how they relate to each of the FAIR
principles. The questionnaire is encoded in a machine-readable Wizard
Knowledge Model, which then exposes the questions in a user-friendly
interface (screenshot). The community spokesperson registers in the Wizard,
completes a few questions profiling the community, then begins to answer the
61 questions in the questionnaire. Default answers, drop-downs and
autocomplete make the completion of the form easier and help achieve the
machine readability. At some point in the future, Communities and trusted
third-parties (e.g., funding agencies, publishers, data stewards, etc.)
could publish customized Knowledge Models that will offer recommendations
on, or even require the use of, certain Resources. This function could be a
powerful driver of convergence. The drop-down and autocorrect is provided by
FAIRsharing. The data input by the Community Spokesperson is captured as
stand-alone nanopublications (capturing an assertion about the
“Implementation Choice Made” and documenting the decision with
a collection provenance metadata). The nanopublications will be made
available on the distributed nanopublication server network, and will be
available to any other organizations for hosting and serving. The resulting
open knowledge graph is generated from the stored data and can be viewed as
a public good, advising a myriad of decisions needed to launch and sustain
the Internet of FAIR Data and Services.
