Abstract

This perspective article presents the vision of combining findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) Digital Objects with the National Science Data Fabric (NSDF) to enhance data accessibility, scientific discovery, and education. Integrating FAIR Digital Objects into the NSDF overcomes data access barriers and facilitates the extraction of machine-actionable metadata in alignment with FAIR principles. The article discusses examples of climate simulations and materials science workflows and establishes the groundwork for a dataflow design that prioritizes inclusivity, web-centricity, and a network-first approach to democratize data access and create opportunities for research and collaboration in the scientific community.
