FAIR-GNSS was a two-year project (2021-2022) funded by BELSPO Brain-be 2.0. It represented an effort of ROB's GNSS team, in collaboration with UGent, to apply FAIR data principles to ROB European and Belgian GNSS data collections. FAIR-GNSS aimed at upgrading ROB’s GNSS repositories to become Trustworthy and FAIR-enabling repositories and turn its GNSS data into FAIR Data Objects, completing them with metadata and Persistent Identifiers (PID) e.g. DOIs...

A proposal for standardized metadata (GNSS-DCAT-AP) to be attached to GNSS RINEX data when they are e.g. downloaded from a GNSS data repository using web services. The proposal and its documentation are publicly available in a GitHub repository.
The proposal for GNSS station metadata (extended GeodesyML) is now under discussion with the GeodesyML task force of the IGS infrastructure committee and is publicly available in a GitHub repository.
Some of the FAIR-GNSS project's results were presented and discussed in a research article published in GPS Solutions: Enhancing FAIRness of GNSS RINEX data: A metadata-driven approach
