Self-Reporting Data Assets (SRDAs) ID: 2021-007

SRDAs revolutionize data sharing by linking descriptive information with source data, enhancing its utility across complex domains.

Technology Overview

Self-Reporting Data Assets (SRDAs) propose a novel approach to data distribution by embedding descriptive metadata directly with the data, aimed at ensuring data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). This concept is particularly aligned with the needs of data-intensive fields like the pharmaceutical industry, leveraging the Allotrope Data Format (ADF) for its implementation due to ADF's superior metadata preservation and data integrity features.

Key Advantages

• Enhances data utility across various domains, especially in complex environments like chemical labs
• Ensures data meets FAIR principles more effectively than previous methods
• Facilitates easier data sharing and reuse with embedded descriptive metadata
• Superior metadata completeness, data integrity, and long-term digital preservation via ADF

Problems Addressed

• Addresses the challenge of utilizing data produced in complex environments unfamiliar to the user
• Overcomes the vagueness of previous data principles like FAIR by specifying necessary metadata descriptors
• Solves issues related to metadata completeness, data integrity, and digital preservation
