摘要：Making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable is an important
but challenging goal. From an infrastructure perspective, repository
technologies play a key role in supporting FAIR data principles. Fedora is a
flexible, extensible, open source repository platform for managing, preserving,
and providing access to digital content. Fedora is used in a wide variety
of institutions including libraries, museums, archives, and government
organizations. Fedora provides native linked data capabilities and a modular
architecture based on well-documented APIs and ease of integration
with existing applications. As both a project and a community, Fedora has
been increasingly focused on research data management, making it wellsuited
to supporting FAIR data principles as a repository platform.
Fedora provides strong support for persistent identifiers, both by minting
HTTP URIs for each resource and by allowing any number of additional
identifiers to be associated with resources as RDF properties. Fedora also
supports rich metadata in any schema that can be indexed and disseminated
using a variety of protocols and services. As a linked data server,
Fedora allows resources to be semantically linked both within the repository
and on the broader web. Along with these and other features supporting
research data management, the Fedora community has been actively
participating in related initiatives, most notably the Research Data Alliance.
Fedora representatives participate in a number of interest and working
groups focused on requirements and interoperability for research data
repository platforms. This participation allows the Fedora project to both
influence and be influenced by an international group of Research Data
Alliance stakeholders.

From an infrastructure perspective, repository technologies play a key role in supporting FAIR data principles.

Fedora representatives participate in a number of interest and working groups focused on requirements and interoperability for research data repository platforms.

This paper will describe how Fedora supports FAIR data principles, both in terms of relevant features and community participation in related initiatives.
