Findable- Overview

Findable: Metadata and data should be findable for both humans and computers.

Findable is broken down into four principles

Principle Verbatim ELI5
F1 Globally unique and persistent Identifiers Variables need unique ids
F2 Data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1 below) Comprehensive codebooks that cover community needs
F3 Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data they describe Codebooks can be linked to data
F4 (Meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource User interface to search through data/codebooks

Actions taken to improve SALURBAL Findability

The following sections will detail how we implemented each Findability principle F1-F4.
