FAIR implementation ecosystem for toxicology

Standards, databases, policies and tools that make toxicology data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). Each resource sits at the year it was first published: generic and life-science resources in a lane each, toxicology resources in the lane of the data life-cycle phase they act on (the earliest, if several) or, when the lanes are arranged by creator, of who made them. Lines show which resources build on others.

About the data

What is listed

Standards, databases, policies and guidance, collections, and tools or services that make data or metadata findable, accessible, interoperable or reusable, each typed as a FAIR-Enabling Resource or another FAIR Supporting Resource. Projects, initiatives and communities are not listed themselves, only the resources they made, except communities with a registered FAIR Implementation Community nanopublication: these are in the list but not in the figure.

Where the resources come from

Curation by the ELIXIR Toxicology Community, the FAIRsharing Toxicology collection and the toxicology FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs), whose declarations name the resources their communities use; the Source filter shows the resources of one source. Types follow the FAIRsharing registries; software and services, which FAIRsharing does not register, are listed as tools. FAIRsharing metadata and the FIP declarations are read when the page is built; this version read FAIRsharing on and the FIPs on .

FSR types and FIP declarations

Resources are typed in the FIP ontology (), after the typology of FAIR Supporting Resources (FSRs) of Magagna et al. 2024, CEUR-WS Vol-3882: FAIR-Enabling Resource or other FAIR Supporting Resource, one type per resource. A FIP declares which resources its community uses for each FAIR principle. The FIP declarations switch draws dotted lines from each FIP to the resources it declares; the details of a resource list its declarations, with links to their nanopublications.

Lanes

Generic and life-science resources have a lane each. The toxicology lanes, together the toxicology infrastructure, arrange toxicology resources by the data life-cycle phase they act on, the earliest if several (the span lists them all), or, with Toxicology lanes set to Creator, by who made them.

First published

When a resource first became public: the online publication of the paper that first describes it, its first release, or the adoption of a guidance or policy. Each date links to its source. Resources without a known date are in the list but not in the figure.

Versions

The data are versioned and citable: each release has a version number, and every change is recorded in the repository.

Data dictionary

The fields of the dataset (fair-tox-ecosystem.jsonld), with the allowed values of the controlled ones. Each field names its term in schema.org, DCAT or the FIP ontology, and each controlled value is an outside concept or a term of the dataset (terms.ttl). resources.csv has the same fields, with aliases for alternateName and date and dateBasis for the date fields, and adds key (a stable identifier), label and abbr (as shown in the figure), year, lane and creatorLane (the lane by phase and by creator), registry (the FAIRsharing registry of the type), fairsharing (the FAIRsharing record), fromCollection and sources (defined below).
