FAIRsharingBig news from @fairsharing! 🎉 We've just completed a major curation effort — our Object Type field is now fully populated across our entire registry.
👉 https://blog.fairsharing.org/?p=1126
Knowing what kind of digital object a resource handles — whether that's datasets, images, software, models, or something else — is fundamental to finding the right tools and staying compliant with funder and institutional policies.
So what does the data tell us? 📊
🗂️ Datasets dominate, with 3,811 assignments — over 50% of the total
🖼️ Images (1,082) and Models (415) are the largest non-document outputs
📄 Software Source Code policies outnumber Software Application policies 2:1, perhaps a sign that reproducibility and open code increasingly important?
📋 Data Management Plans are heavily represented in policies, which makes sense!
You can now explore object types via faceted search and advanced search on the FAIRsharing website. And for developers and tool builders, the field is fully accessible via the FAIRsharing API.
Huge thanks to our maintainers, Community Champions, and the FAIRsharing team — especially David Tomkins, Lea Girard, Ramon Granell, and Allyson Lister. 🙌
