Re: [sdw] [SDW Best Practices Update]: Add FAIR principles to the document (#1290)

Hi All. Natural Resources Canada within the GeoConnections Program has been advocating to further develop the F (findability) and A (Accessibility) aspects of FAIR with the use of the +, i.e., FAIR+ . For findability, we are advancing work towards automating the discovery of spatial web services via crawlers. We crawl the .ca domain and list the results of available spatial services here: https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/science-and-data/science-and-research/geomatics/canadas-spatial-data-infrastructure/geospatial-web-services/19359 ... The same is being done for Arctic Spatial Data Infrastructure in their metadata catalog available here:  https://arctic-sdi.org/arctic-sdi-metadata-catalogue/ . We are also pursuing improving accessibility through web mapping and Maps for HTML https://www.w3.org/community/maps4html/ Work is focused on improving accessibility to those with disabilities via screen map readers and map layer readers. Interoperable is a pillar of our work as well and is well established with our use, promotion, and support for the development of standards.
