"fitness for purpose pre-supposes that one knows the universe of applicability for a specific set of data" - very true: I always think "fitness for what purpose"? That's actually why some work we did a year ago (for Geospatial Commission) has resulted in a request to add two elements to the UK discovery metadata profile: one for "original purpose" and the other for "other purposes that people have used this data for". The second one may be harder for publishers to populate, and out (UK) portals don't provide a lot of support for gathering that info - even where people find the data through the portal. Examples are probably well known, e.g. bathymetry for 'big ship navigation' is not the best for 'submarine navigation' or sea bed assessments for mining potential. So far, we (UK) are still trying to encourage publishers to at least be open about the quantitative quality of their datasets. For SDWBP, it may make most sense to still discuss quality independently from FAIR. -- GitHub Notification of comment by PeterParslow Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1290#issuecomment-1010894180 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
