PARADISEC has developed practices for curating materials that can be summarised using two acronyms, FAIR and TRUST, more recently developed by the international research community. See Barwick and Thieberger (2018) on how FAIR principles apply to PARADISEC’s work.
FAIR means that :
Data should be Findable
Data should be Accessible
Data should be Interoperable
Data should be Re-usable.
The TRUST principles are:
| Transparency | To be transparent about specific repository services and data holdings that are verifiable by publicly accessible evidence. |
| Responsibility | To be responsible for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of data holdings and for the reliability and persistence of its service. |
| User Focus | To ensure that the data management norms and expectations of target user communities are met. |
| Sustainability | To sustain services and preserve data holdings for the long-term. |
| Technology | To provide infrastructure and capabilities to support secure, persistent, and reliable services. |
