From September 2018 and over a period of three years, the Frictionless Data team will focus on enhanced dissemination and training activities, and further iterations on our software and specifications via a range of deep pilot projects with research partners.
At the onset of this project, we spent time reflecting on FAIR research principles in relation to Frictionless Data, and expounded on the concept of data packages as an example of FAIRness. Serah Rono's talk from FORCE 2018 summarises our work and vision for this project.
We welcome questions, suggestions and invitations to collaborate from research communities in various domains. All correspondence sent to our team via [email protected] will be carefully mulled over and responded to.
