Harvest from FAIR data points

Connect to FAIR Data Points to import scientific datasets that follow FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

What are FAIR Data Points?

FAIR Data Points are standardised metadata endpoints for scientific data that ensure data can be easily found and reused by researchers. Learn more about FAIR principles.

Configure the FAIR data point source

Prerequisite

The fairdatapointharvester extension must be added to the CKAN plugins for this harvester to be available.

When adding a harvest source, use these settings for FAIR data points:

FieldDescription
URLEnter the FAIR Data Point base URL. Example: https://fair.healthinformationportal.eu/
Source typeSelect FAIR data point harvester from the dropdown
ConfigurationEnter: { "profile": "fairdatapoint_dcat_ap", "force_all": "true" }
Known Behaviour

If a dataset is moved in FDP from one catalogue to another catalogue (by updating DCTERMS.isPartOf reference on the dataset level), it will be considered a new one because a guid of CKAN harvested resource (unlike FDP itself) includes a catalogue ID.
