It is a native port of the [F-UJI](https://github.com/pangaea-data-publisher/fuji) metrics, so it needs no external assessment server. ```{r} library(rfair) ``` ## Assessing an object Pass any DOI, persistent identifier, or URL to `assess_fair()`. It resolves the identifier, harvests metadata, and scores it against the FAIRsFAIR metrics. ```{r} a <- assess_fair("https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8347772") a ``` The returned `fair_assessment` object prints an F/A/I/R summary. The numbers come from up to 17 metrics; each is one row of: ```{r} as.data.frame(a) ``` `summary(a)` gives the per-principle score table, and the *maturity* column reports a 0–3 CMMI level (incomplete → advanced). ```{r} summary(a) ``` ## Interpreting beyond the score Automated FAIR scores have well-known blind spots. `rfair` surfaces three: ```{r} # A license being *present* does not mean the data is open for reuse. a$reuse # per-license: open / restrictive, commercial, derivatives # Restricted access can be legitimate (e.g. sensitive human data) and should not # be read as "not FAIR". a$access # access level, controlled_access, sensitive # Identifiers should follow best practices. a$identifier_hygiene # layered / non-persistent identifier warnings ``` You can call these directly too: ```{r} license_reuse("https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/") identifier_hygiene("RRID:MGI:5577054") fair_principles() # canonical FAIR principle definitions ``` ## Exporting results ```{r} as_fuji_json(a) # F-UJI-compatible FAIRResults JSON as_rdf(a) # W3C DQV + schema.org Rating (JSON-LD) ``` ## Interactive use ```{r} launch_rfair() # Shiny app ``` A no-install browser version is at ; because browsers cannot fetch landing pages cross-origin, it scores from registry metadata (DataCite/Crossref) only, so some metrics are lower than the R engine.
