Workflow for an Improved FAIR Environmental Data Publication in EnviDat

Résumé

The Swiss Federal Institute WSL strives to increasethe fraction of environmental data that is easily available for
reuse. With the Environmental Data portal EnviDat, WSL facilitates the publication of FAIR (Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, Reusable) and high-quality environmental research datasets by providing: A) a formal data publication process
for the data producers, B) a technical workflow for improving data-quality with automatic validation, interactive quality checks,
and iterative improvement of (meta-)data quality in support of the formal publication process and C) a DataCRediT mechanism
for declaration of data authorship roles.
