FAIR Principles

The goal is for the metapages publishing system to align with FAIR principles:

https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/

The principles emphasise machine-actionability (i.e., the capacity of computational systems to find, access, interoperate, and reuse data with none or minimal human intervention) because humans increasingly rely on computational support to deal with data as a result of the increase in volume, complexity, and creation speed of data.

Metapages are well-positioned, as they are machine readable, using JSON to describe their inputs, outputs, metadata, and often the code is directly readable.

As resources allow, we will implement the principles in a rigorous process.
