==How do we implement FAIR-compliant standards?==

FAIR-compliance is important as it ensures the quality of the data being shared. NextSEEK was built on FAIR data attributes, making it one of a kind in how vigorously it incorporates FAIR data standards. All of the data stored in NextSEEK is assigned a unique ID number, making it easy to search for a specific sample. Each data sample is also stored with rich metadata, making it possible to search for samples of data using metadata attributes. This system for searching up data is standardized, meaning it isn’t specific to a certain piece of data and allows for expansion for numerous data types. Retrieving data also requires authentication and authorization, ensuring the data is accessible while still being secure and protected. NextSEEK stores data in an interoperable way by storing data in a broadly applicable manner and allowing different data types to reference each other. Along with storing rich metadata, NextSEEK data is stored with detailed connection and a clear point of origin, making it simple to see how different samples are connected.

NextSEEK data meets community standards in regards to the metadata being stored, making it easy for the scientific community to interpret and reuse the data. Due to the existing database architecture, SEEK is also adaptable post-implementation, ensuring the scalability and the long term capabilities of the system.
