  1. That is, findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable: findability indicates easy search for specific data sets, accessibility is convenient access (according to access conditions and storage capabilities over a long time), interoperability denotes compatibility with other datasets or software, and reusability is multiple (repeated) use in further research.
