FAIR data are data which meet principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. A March 2016 publication by a consortium of scientists and organizations specified the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship in Scientific Data, using FAIR as an acronym and making the concept easier to discuss.

TRUST an RDA community effort has led to the development and publication, in Nature Research’s Scientific Data, of the article, “The TRUST Principles for digital repositories”. These principles offer guidance for maintaining the trustworthiness of digital repositories, especially those responsible for the stewardship of research data.

The Breeding API (BrAPI) project is an effort to enable interoperability among plant breeding databases. BrAPI is a standardized RESTful web service API specification for communicating plant breeding data. This community driven standard is free to be used by anyone interested in plant breeding data management.

I like how easy it is to navigate the JBrowse in KnowPulse for orthology discovery as well as SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) visualization among populations.

It was very easy to upload the excel sheet by just dragging the file. Another was the incorporation of procedures for data measurement within the excel file provided.
