Abstract

[Purpose/significance] This paper compares the main FAIR assessment models and tools in order to provide references for stakeholders in data management to assess data FAIRness.[Method/process] The metrics and the evaluation methods of each model or tool were introduced through a literature review and content analysis. The comparative analysis method was also used to evaluate FAIR assessment models and tools from 6 aspects, including types, automation, operability of FAIRness evaluation method, number and distribution of indicators, metadata indicator settings, and indicator clarity.[Result/conclusion] Based on the comparison of each model or tool, a solution of "FAIRsFAIR Data Object Assessment Metrics + RDA FAIR Data Maturity Model" is proposed for stakeholdersin data management in selecting and application of FAIR assessment models.
