A Workshop Session on FAIR for Containers, Workflows and Software

FAIR for various research software artifacts, including containers and workflows, has been a topic of interest for research staff, platform developers and researchers across different research communities. Building on the continued interest, this workshop aims to create a common understanding of FAIR practices for various software artifacts. The session is planned as follows: session introduction, motivation for adopting FAIR for containers/workflows/software across multiple organisations, and background. A brief touch on the FAIR for containers draft and exploring possible practical pathways. Open discussion on pathways with topics including container aggregation services, research practices, and research platform initiatives.
