The complete application for Core Trust Seal (CTS) by DASS BIH (March 2022). CTS offers a process of self-evaluation for digital repositories. The certification process consists of a set of 16 criteria with which a repository must comply.

The Recommendations on certifying services required to enable FAIR within EOSC document contains an analysis of activities relevant to certification of the services required to enable FAIR research outputs within EOSC as of November 2020. It discusses incentivisation and support, offers an analys...

This deliverable contains the report of the two “Trust” workshops as well of that of a preceding “CESSDA Expert Seminar”. These workshops were held as part of task 4.3 of the CESSDA SaW project plan (“Development Support: achieving the Data Seal of Approval”) in 2016 and 2017.

The main aim of CoreTrustSeal (CTS) is to assess the trustworthiness of a research data repository. This trustworthiness certainly has a relation with the long-term access to digital objects managed by a data repository. This webinar provides an overview of the digital preservation related aspect...

This draft working paper has been prepared by members of the SSHOC, EOSC Nordic and FAIRsFAIR projects working on related topics. It seeks to present some key concepts and expand on them to specify the standards and assessments required for an interoperable ecosystem of FAIR (findable, accessible...

The Dataverse Project community has written this guide to help collection support staff of Dataverse repositories, as well as those considering using the Dataverse software, apply for the CoreTrustSeal (CTS) certification. This guide describes how the core functionality and design principles of...

Certification is a sign of trust that benefits a data repository in many ways. How can your repository achieve certification? The SSHOC webinar focuses on the certification of digital repositories and how your repository can apply for the CoreTrustSeal.

This specification (v0.4) contains 17 core metrics proposed by FAIRsFAIR to evaluate the FAIRness of research data objects in Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDRs). Two new metrics representing the FAIR principle A1 have been added into the specification. Metric descriptions (e.g., related reso...

This document represents the third alignment of CoreTrustSeal to FAIR requirements to inform<br> repositories seeking to enable FAIR data. Feedback is welcomed either directly to the authors or on the Google Doc. Further context is presented in the FAIRsFAIR project milestone: https://doi.org/10....

The overall goal of FAIRsFAIR is to accelerate the realization of the goals of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) by compiling and disseminating all knowledge, expertise, guidelines, implementations, new trajectories, training and education on FAIR matters. FAIRsFAIR work package 4 (WP4) will...
