Why it is important to make your research data fair.

Good, FAIR data management is very important for UT's network data scientist Doina Bucur. Her data describes indigenous astronomies from all over the world. It has a historical and cultural nature. She has collected data objects that describe for example the way different people saw constellations in the sky.

Preserving data for future scientific studies
Bucur has put a lot of effort into digitizing this historical data in order to preserve the data for future scientific studies. She is also making the data FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. Take a look at the video below where she tells why it is important to make your data FAIR.
