⁠FAIR Data Point (FDP)

FDP is a RESTful web service that enables data owners to describe and to expose their datasets (metadata) as well as data users to discover more information about available datasets according to the FAIR Data Guiding Principles⁠. In particular, FDP addresses the findability or discoverability of data by providing machine-readable descriptions (metadata) at four hierarchical levels:

FDP->catalogs->datasets->distributions

FDP software specification can be found here⁠.

FDP has been implemented in:

• Python⁠
• Java⁠ (deprecated, use this⁠ version instead)
