FLAIR-GG and the FLAIR-GG Virtual Platform

General Documentation

The FLAIR-GG Project aims to FAIRify the
Banco de Germoplasma Vegetal de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (BGV-UPM)
and to interlink it with other Germplasm resources throughout Spain and the world.

This will be accomplished using a variety of technologies for
modelling and transforming relational data from the BGV-UPM into FAIR formats
such as ontologically grounded RDF

All germplasm and other third-party resources are federated via a shared portal
called the "Virtual Platform" (VP), where
it will be possible to execute federated queries and analytics over all participants
in the FLAIR-GG network

How to join the FLAIR-GG Network

FLAIR-GG is still an emergent initiative, seeking early-adopters.

We have created ONBOARDING documentation to help you get started. We are here to help!

We are even able to (temporarily) host your FAIR endpoint, to let you explore membership
with minimal commitment or effort

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need to change my database or existing seedbank infrastructure? (NO!)
• In the area of germplasm conservation and use, which external
  suppliers of information could we connect under the FAIR principles.
• What's a shared data model?
• Could you give me an example to see the differences between
  the terms "reusability" and "interoperatibility"?
• Increased findability and accessibility are not also increasing
  findability and accessibility by hackers?
• How is it possible to enable interoperability of seed banks
  databases under different taxonomies?
• Does a germplasm bank need a database expert to update information
  on its metadata and data?
• Is the FLAIR-GG platform open to in-situ conservation information?
• Is there a limitation of the number of germplasm banks that could
  be integrated in the FLAIR-GG platform?
• Who is responsible for updating the metadata and data?
  or How can I update the metadata and data?
• If my bank is not following the FAIR principles,
  could it still benefit from the FAIR accesibility and reusability of data from others
  (FAIR germplasm banks, FAIR suppliers of georreferenced information, FAIR public
  administrative institutions, etc)?
