Review FAIR assessment tools for APIs/interfaces, docker etc

The goal of this issue is to review automated FAIR assessment tools and fill a table relevant for decision making.

We start with the list of tools exctracted from fairassist.org:

PDF: FAIRassist_org_excerpt_automated_tools.pdf; DOCX: FAIRassist_org_excerpt_automated_tools.docx

For outlining our future strategy, we are interested in analyzing which tools may be appropriate to include into possible, future versions of the toolbox and dashboard.

We therefore compile an overview table with the following information:

• For each tool listed in the excerpt above (see appended PDF):
  • tool name (full name and abbreviation)
  • url to the tool (see fairassist.org and beyond)
  • url to code repository (see fairassist.org and beyond)
  • url to documentation of the tool (see fairassist.org and beyond)
  • doi of a research article about the tool (see fairassist.org and beyond)
  • has API (does it have an API that we can use to retrieve scores for any publication DOI?)
  • test of API was successful
  • metadata returned by the API appears to provide FAIR scores in a format that hypothetically seems to allow including it in a future version of the toolbox
  • comments on the test of the API
  • is it possible to deploy the code on our own server?
  • under which license is the code published
  • other comments

A schema to be filled for each tool could, for example, look like this:

  tool name:
    full name: string
    abbreviation: string
  urls:
    main: string
    repository: string
    documentation: string
  research_article:
    doi: string
  api:
    available: boolean
    test_successful: boolean
    fair_scores_compatible: boolean
    test_comments: string
  deployment:
    self_hostable: boolean
  license: string
  additional_comments: string

Update: @Pascal.Ehlers collected metadata for all 12 tools and will next test the APIs.

Fair_APIs.xlsx Version from 17.3

Fair_APIs.xlsx Version from 27.03 Api checking is complete

Thank you. please (re-)assess also

1. FAIR EVA
2. all tools that do not have a publicly accessible API, but can be self-hosted (explicitly FAIR evaluator)
