From: Evaluating FAIR maturity through a scalable, automated, community-governed framework
The conceptual workflow for executing a FAIR Evaluation. Most steps are optional (yellow boxes), and only become necessary if the set of published MIs and/or Collections is determined to be insufficient. The only steps required for every evaluation are to select a Collection of Compliance Tests appropriate for the digital resource being evaluated, and to submit the GUID of the metadata record for that digital resource (green boxes). Governance of the evaluation of, for example, a Maturity Indicator GitHub submission, and its associated test, is currently under consideration.
