> 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. @wilkesg that's really interesting - out of interest is your crawler open source? The OGCAPI standards were meant to address some of the findability issues, if you search "Vineyards Germany" in Google Dataset search it picks up the OGCAPI-Features service with relevant data as the top result - https://datasetsearch.research.google.com/search?query=vineyards%20germany -- GitHub Notification of comment by KoalaGeo Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1290#issuecomment-1010451114 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
