Agenda

  1. Introduction of the objectives of the call and the tasks
  2. Introduction of the participants
  3. The inventory of tools for –omics data FAIRification: https://github.com/fairgenomes/information/wiki/Stream2
  4. Relation to the requirements of the FAIRgenomes, X-omics, UMD projects. See also: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rnLsmE62t15jCwJfx4mCL5USYSeiXNctCA0XPcgprds/edit#gid=0
  5. Next steps a. BYOD workshops for data FAIRification b. Communication internal and external (link to international initiatives such as GA4GH, 1MG, Phenomenal
  6. Any other business

Discussion

Wiki Repository

  • First we will focus on genomics data/experiments before moving to fit in metabolomics-related (or other -omics related) information
  • The initial focus will be on samples/experimental conditions/assays
  • The FAIRgenomes repository may not be the best place for non-genomics data FAIRification: Suggestion by Morris - Add things to wiki and later repositories can be renamed as and when needed
  • Suggestion by Andrew - Check PhenoMeNal (http://phenomenal-h2020.eu/home/) and take a look at the existing use-cases within it

Wiki Content

  • Suggestion by Peter-Bram - To work first on sample metadata and sample data
  • Suggestion by Michael - Take public datasets and check if the ontologies/ data models fit on them. This can be compared at a workshop
  • Another TC needed before the workshop (where ontologies and data models will be comapred)
  • Each member brings a sample sheet relevant to individual projects/ research to see how comparable they are
  • Katy will share a list of items that deal with GDPR and laws relating to FAIR data and will add links to the wiki/ google-doc for VWData project
  • GA4GH discussion in the next TC before the workshop

Workshops

  • Mateusz would need input from everyone on this
  • Plan to have five workhops:
    • Metadata template for samples
    • Specific workshops for the three -omics levels (genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, order flexible)
    • Data integration
  • Starting point for the samples workshop can be the sample sheet plus attempts to ontology-based models for these sample sheet. For the three -omics workshops, it could be an output file from an -omics experiment, such as a vcf file for genomics (see also the documents from the 2017 BYOD in Utrecht). The aim would be to make this FAIR
  • Decision: in preparation of the first workshop, all choose a relevant sample sheet from their customer / project
  • Decision: Mateusz will work with Peter-Bram on the further agenda and aims of the first workshop.

Other discussions

  • Michael - When is data FAIR and how far to go? What our efforts should be in this direction? Answer: for each project, we should define the level of ambition when it comes to FAIRification. The FAIRmetrics can be leading plus other output from projects such as FAIRsFAIR.
  • Posting use case related questions on Wiki?
  • Effective use of Git repository
  • Consent issue - Katy's project that is a part of the Dutch National Research Agenda
  • Everyone should keep an eye on the progress in different projects on data FAIRification running within Europe and outside

Action Items

  • Workshop preparation - Everyone to collect an example sample sheet, see which mapping can be done yourself and data models that can be built on it. Mateusz and Peter-Bram define agenda and plan a TC in preparation of the workshop
  • Build multiple concrete usecases that depict what we mean by FAIR
  • Katy to explore the links with VWData project.
