rfair: Assess the FAIRness of Research Data Objects

Description

rfair is a native R implementation of the F-UJI (FAIRsFAIR Research Data Object Assessment) metrics. Given a persistent identifier or URL, it resolves the object, harvests metadata from its landing page and from registries such as DataCite, and scores the result against the FAIRsFAIR metrics. rfair began as a fork of the rfuji F-UJI API client; unlike that client, it performs the assessment entirely in R and does not require a running F-UJI server.

Details

The main entry point is assess_fair(). See the package vignettes and https://choxos.github.io/rfair/ for details.
