Table 1 FAIR assessment of existing systems containing cytokine data

From: Applying the FAIR principles to data in a hospital: challenges and opportunities in a pandemic

Existing system

FAIR assessment

Original cytokine dataset (Excel)

Structured, but custom-built, thus not in a uniform, globally machine readable way.

Dataset in Castor EDC

Structured in a uniform way, but no standards were applied to create a FAIR dataset.

Dataset in Opal

Structured, findable through the central LUMC warehouse and accessible through an API, but no global machine readable standards were applied to represent the data and metadata for machine processing.
