To facilitate and accelerate systematic data exchange between different data sources and data spaces, MISSION KI is researching and testing the concept of FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs). Building on the results of the first development phase, MISSION KI has commissioned a powerful consortium of 18 partners – led by the Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen (GWDG) – to develop an FDO service architecture. This new software environment aims to equip companies, research organizations, and public institutions with the necessary tools to prepare their data holdings in line with the FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
