FAIR assessment of the VAMDC infrastructure

The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) is a worldwide e-infrastructure built to share atomic and molecular data for astrophysical applications in an interoperable way. VAMDC is buit over IVOA standards : TAP services are built over existing databases and those services are registered into dedicated registries. Standards from other communities (ex. RDA/Codata) are also implemented to allow « data citation » and « data extraction reproducibility ».

In recent years the FAIR principles have become a landmark in the research-data domain. We will present the results of the analysis made about the FAIRness of the VAMDC infrastructure using the assessment methodology produced by the Research Data Alliance.
