+====== FAIR Building Blocks ======
+==== Definition ====
+The [[..:0_vision-and-mission:start|Mission and vision]] of the HMC Hub Earth and Environment is realized by the **Road-to-FAIR-Strategy**. To do so, we suggest implementing a common set of **FAIR building blocks**. These building blocks are operational measures required to support the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability of research data.
+In our experience, the aspects Findability and Accessibility are relatively well supported by existing technical solutions in Earth and Environment. Therefore, our building blocks focus particularly on the aspects Interoperability and Reusability.
+Building blocks that mainly address **Interoperability** are:
+  * Common and agreed procedures to refer to systematically described entities through the use of **persistent identifiers** (PIDs), to reduce redundancy, enrich context and improve consistency in referencing instances such as people, organizations, instruments, and datasets.
+  * Common understanding across systems and disciplines through the use of **semantic resources** to standardize metadata element names and reduce ambiguity.
+  * Common methods to structure data through the application of **interfaces, protocols, exchange formats, and schemas**, to ensure consistent structuring and exchange of metadata across systems.
+  * Common handling of data dissimination through **exchange containers** such as FAIR Digital Objects or DataCrates, to enable machine-actionable reuse and portability.
+The following building blocks mainly address **Reusability**:
+  * Inclusion of **provenance information**, capturing data origin, transformation steps, and responsible agents, to disclose lineage, and enable assessment of data reliability and reproducibility.
+  * Standardized procedures for documenting and assessing **data quality**, including uncertainty, validation, completeness, and versioning, to establish a basis for data trust and ensure data are fit for purpose.
+  * Clear definition of **access and use constraints** using standardized and machine-readable methods, e.g. common licenses, to promote legal clarity.
+/* Um weitere Themen erweitern, wie "AI", "Wo Daten veröffentlichen", "Visualisierung des Kontents von Metadaten - z.B. als Autor auch den Autoren zeigen/Anzeige der Zitationen", Empfehlungen zu Findability (Stichwort R3data, Schema.org) und Accesibility, AI readiness */
+These building blocks form the structural foundation for the detailed recommendations presented in this wiki.
+Furthermore, the wiki contains concrete recommendations for [[..:3_implementation:|implementing our recommendations]], combined with the documentation of positive use cases.
+Finally, we present [[..:4_stakeholders:|guidance tailored to the various stakeholders]] who are or need to be involved in implementig FAIR.
+/* **Valuating research data management** (RDM) engagement, through citation of datasets with DOIs, inclusion of author contributions, and formal acknowledgment of data curation efforts.*/
+/*   ==== Suggested Disciplinary Metadata Fields: ====
+Instrument used for the measurement
+  * method of the measurement
+  * measured attribute
+  * measured parameter
+  * measured unit
+  * measured Object / Medium
+  * sampleID
+  * region where the sample was obtained
