At the 2nd Annual GO FAIR Implementation network meeting<\/strong><\/a> in Hamburg the GO FAIR community refocused efforts towards convergence<\/strong>. Convergence is needed to bring together domain-specific approaches on data and infrastructures as well as experiences in training and education which enables the adoption and extension of existing practices and solutions.<\/p>\n

Several areas for potential cross-IN or cross-domain collaboration<\/strong> had been revealed during the meeting. A selection of six topics was discussed vividly in separate breakout sessions:<\/p>\n

  1. Distributed learning on federated data<\/strong>
    \nHow could the FDO help\/be used to support the data trains?

  2. FAIR data objects: how to<\/strong>
    \nThe creation of FDO specification for use across all domains.
    \nNicola Knight (    Chemistry IN<\/a>), Stan Martin (FAIR Microbiome), Erik Schultes (GO FAIR)<\/li>\n
  3. Semantic interoperability<\/strong>

  4. Data stewardship competences – terminology, training materials

    Specific objectives for GO FAIR Community Convergence will be defined in the coming weeks and a high level energy will keep the ball rolling among Implementation Networks towards further developments, collaboration and convergence. Results will be presented at the virtual International FAIR Convergence Symposium<\/a><\/strong> convened by CODATA and GO FAIR on 27 November – 04 December 2020.
