WordFAIR Chemistry

The Committee on Data of the International Science Council (CODATA) and the Research Data Alliance (RDA) launched the WorldFAIR Initiative in 2022 to advance implementation of the FAIR data principles within and across research domains. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), known as the world authority on chemical nomenclature, terminology, and standardized methods of measurement, hosts the WorldFAIR Chemistry project to support broader data sharing of chemical data through collaboration with related disciplines and data science communities. The goal of WorldFAIR Chemistry is to support the use of chemical data standards in research workflows to enable downstream data reuse through practical direction and resources.
