| Definitions |
FAIR data is scientific data that meets the principles of being findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
A substantially overlapping term is 'open data', i.e. publicly available data that is free to use, distribute, and create derivative work from, without restrictions. Open data does not automatically have to be FAIR (e.g. findable or interoperable), while FAIR data does in some cases not have to be publicly available without restrictions (especially sensitive, protected data, topic_4044).
