Sharing data in a FAIR way : Practical lessons from real-world workflows

This presentation explores what the FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, look like in daily practice within research libraries, drawing on real examples from PIDs assignment, metadata crosswalk development, and metadata schema alignments. Using DOIs enriched with ORCIDs and RORs, cross-platform metadata mapping, and interoperable vocabularies, we illustrate how data FAIRness emerges through consistent, and (unfortunately) often behind‑the‑scenes technical work. We also highlight how clear licensing, provenance tracking, and version control support true data reusability, demonstrating the tangible value of FAIR data services to research communities.
