How easy is it for users to gain access to the data? Are any impediments in place reasonable given the nature of the data, e.g., authorization for sensitive data. Repositories that make metadata available during the embargo period should not be penalized on this question.
#### Options
* **No restriction:** Accessible without a log in
* **Minimal restriction:** requiring an account and/or the user to sign data policy agreement would be considered a minimal restriction.
* **Significant restriction, Authorization required:** Requiring that someone obtain authorization ahead of downloading data, as would be the case for sensitive data, for example, even if it is understandable.
* **Significant but not justified:** The repository imposes significant restrictions for accessing datasets. Said restrictions are too strict for possible harm mis-use of the data might cause.]]></text><answer>no restrictions</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]reuse"><text><
Consider the type of data and whether the access mechanism places undue restraints on the ability to re-use the data. Also, consider the license that specifies 3rd party rights: does it allow the data to be re-used and -shared as part of a new product?
Ideally, the repository should have a clear statement about acceptable file format characteristics. In the absence of such a policy, a check can be made to ascertain which formats are available. If there are both open and closed examples they are coded as “Yes with proprietary formats”. If individual data sets are offered under multiple licenses, this can complicate the re-use process further.
#### Options
* **Yes:** Permissive license or data use terms including the right to re-distribute products arising from the data; open and well supported format
* **Somewhat:** Yes with proprietary formats, or with multiple licenses that require users to navigate the terms separately for each data set. A proprietary format that is still well used and has multiple tools that can read it, such as `xls`, is better than a custom format that is not well supported
* **No:** A proprietary format that is difficult to read without the required software. Inability to distribute data products so that others may build on them. Terms of use are unclear. ]]></text><answer>somewhat</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]lic-clr"><text><![CDATA[### Does the repository provide a clear license for reuse of the data?
Ideally, a metadata field `License=` or an easy to find statement on the web page stating the license under which data are released. The license should also ideally be one in common use where the usage rights are clearly stated and uncomplicated.
#### Options
* **Dataset Level:** Clear license and assigned at the level of individual data sets as part of the metadata
* **Repository Level:** Clear license provided at the level of the repository, e.g., all data are released under a CC-BY license
* **No license**]]></text><answer>no license</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]plat"><text><![CDATA[### Does the repository platform make it easy to work with (e.g. download/re-use) the data?
Most repositories provide data for download, but with very large data sets, download can be a significant impediment for reuse. In such a case, a cloud platform may make it easier for researchers to actually reuse the data.]]></text><answer>no</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]ru-doc"><text><![CDATA[### Does the repository require or support documentation that aids in proper (re)-use of the data?
Vignettes or help that are designed not just for use of the repository, but that helps users understand the types of questions that can be answered by using the data and tools. May be at the repository level for homogeneous data or at the data set level for heterogeneous data. Repositories are expected to have basic help materials and tutorials. We are asking for a level above that to fully achieve FAIR. not just how to perform certain functions but why you can use the resource to answer certain types of questions.
#### Options
* **best:** Basic tutorials/help + accompanied by use cases or user stories at the repository level and data set level if appropriate
* **good:** Basic tutorials + encouragement and ability to add use cases even if not enforced
* **adequate:** Tutorials but no use cases
* **worst:** Inadequate tutorials + no use cases and no mention of them.]]></text><answer>worst</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]sch-ui"><text><![CDATA[### Does the repository provide a search facility for the data and metadata?
Human focused: On-line repositories should provide a means to search available data either through keyword or structured search. ]]></text><answer>yes</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]pid-g"><text>< by the Dutch Techcenter for Life Sciences.
Answer is "Yes" if this is the default option, i.e., an externally linked and registered PID, e.g., a DOI, Handle, ARK. Sometimes Accession numbers are offered as standard. These can be easily upgraded to PIDs through the Compact Identifiers functionality (e.g. by registering them at [identifiers.org](https://registry.identifiers.org)) but unless this is specified on the website, the response is "No".]]></text><answer>yes</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]land-pg"><text>< and the [Data citation principles](https://www.force11.org/group/joint-declaration-data-citation-principles-final) require that metadata persist, even if the data they describe are no longer available. FAIR also requires that the access rights to the data be both machine-readable and human understandable. Having the persistent identifier resolve to this page rather than to the data themselves ensures that a stable reference is provided even if the data are removed. The descriptive metadata should also include the necessary information for citing the data set (see Fenner M, Crosas M, Grethe J, Kennedy D, Hermjakob H, Rocca-Serra P, Berjon R, Karcher S, Martone M, Clark T (2016) A Data Citation Roadmap for Scholarly Data Repositories. bioRXiv Dec. 28, 2016.

* **Minimal:** Minimal descriptive information]]></text><answer>rich</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]md-prv"><text><![CDATA[### Are the (meta)data associated with detailed provenance?
Is the appropriate provenance provided, e.g., if they use the Gene Ontology term do we know it’s from gene ontology? In biomedicine, making sure that the relationship between subjects and specimens and data is explicit is extremely important. RRIDs should be used to make sure that all data sets that use the same strain or sample can be found and combined.
Some aspects to look at:
* Does the repository provide originating information for the data set? Lab, PI, Institution.
* Do they provide a contact person? Does the contact person provide an ORCID?
* Do they use contributor roles so that we know who performed various actions?
* Do they provide an originating publication if applicable?
* Do they provide clear dates for submission and modification?
* Do the have a clear versioning policy?
* If they use external identifiers, are they accessible by their PIDs?
* Do they make provenance of any externally imported or referenced data explicit in the (meta)data?
#### Options
* **best:** Clear provenance where required + machine readable tag; clear versioning policy and old versions can be accessed
* **good:** Some good things, e.g., clear provenance provided in free text

The repository should contain the relevant metadata: authors (data creators), year, title of data, repository, unique identifier and version number. For examples and more information, see [A Data Citation Primer](http://force11.github.io/data-citation-primer/authors/).-->
#### Options
* **Full support:** The repository contains a metadata field with the full citation(s).
* **Partial Support:** The repository has the required metadata elements but does not provide an easy way to cite the data. Required metadata should include all contributors just like with an article.
* **No Support:** Insufficient metadata for a full citation, e.g., no title or authors.]]></text><answer>partial</answer></question><question id="[sc-drc.dg]md-ref"><text><![CDATA[### Do the metadata include qualified references to other (meta)data?
How well specified are the relationships included in the metadata, e.g., applied in the context of publications, does the resource use the DataCite or some other schema/standard that specifies the relationship of an identifier to the data set, e.g., a PubMed ID for a publication that first reported the data set. Should be machine friendly, e.g., ID’s for publications rather than free text.
#### Options
* **best:** The relationship between the data set or element and an identifier that references an external entity is clearly specified, e.g., the people listed and the related publication are clearly specified.
* Data publication: DOI or PMID
* Author: ORCID + metadata
* Contact person: ORCID + appropriate metadata
* **good:** Identifiers provided but no explicit relationships given
* Publication: Tagged but doesn’t specify the relationship of the publication to the data set clearly

#### Options
* **best:** Repository not only records article provenance, but links that provenance to the PID such that a consumer of this metadata, e.g., DataCite, Crossref, Zenodo (OpenAIRE) or Scholix, can make use of this information
* **good:** originating article is clearly indicated with an appropriate metadata tag (check landing page metadata)
* **unclear:** publication is there but not indicated by a metadata tag, so the relationship between the data set and the publication is not clear (check landing page)
