ABSTRAIT

This study provides an analysis of the implementation of FAIR Guidelines in selected non-Western
geographies. The analysis was based on a systematic literature review to determine if the findability,
accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of data is seen as an issue, if the adoption of the FAIR Guidelines
is seen as a solution, and if the climate is conducive to the implementation of the FAIR Guidelines. The results
show that the FAIR Guidelines have been discussed in most of the countries studied, which have identified
data sharing and the reusability of research data as an issue (par exemple., Kazakhstan, Russia, countries in the Middle
East), and partially introduced in others (par exemple., Indonésie). In Indonesia, a FAIR equivalent system has been
introduced, although certain functions need to be added for data to be entirely FAIR. In Japan, both FAIR
equivalent systems and FAIR-based systems have been adopted and created, and the acceptance of FAIR-
based systems is recommended by the Government of Japan. In a number of African countries, the FAIR
Guidelines are in the process of being implemented and the implementation of FAIR is well supported. Dans
conclusion, a window of opportunity for implementing the FAIR Guidelines is open in most of the countries
studied, cependant, more awareness needs to be raised about the benefits of FAIR in Russia and Kazakhstan to
place it firmly on the policy agenda.

1. INTRODUCTION

The implementation of the FAIR Guidelines—that data be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and
Reusable (FAIR)—enhances the ability of data to be found and reused by humans and machines. These
principles have been recognised by academics and researchers, as well as many other stakeholders including
healthcare practitioners, scientists, data managers, publishers, policymakers and funding agencies. With
FAIR Guidelines, a different mindset is emerging about the use of data and the relationship between data
providers and users globally. Cependant, since the FAIR Guidelines were first discussed in 2014, ces
principles have been mainly implemented in Western geographies (81%): 67% in European geographies
et 14% in North American geographies [1]. The Southern and Eastern hemispheres have been largely
excluded from implementation efforts up to this point [1]. This raises the question as to whether or not FAIR
is under discussion in other places and how conducive the environment in these places is to adopting and
implementing the FAIR Guidelines. This study, donc, examines the possibility of implementing FAIR in
non-Western geographies, where English is not the main language.

2. METHODOLOGY

For this study, a systematic review of the literature was conducted to determine whether or not FAIR
is being implemented in non-Western geographies and, if not, the potential for such implementation.
A specific search strategy (Appendix 1) and selection process were formulated for literature published
entre 2014 et 2021 in the selected geographies. In many places, languages besides English are used

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

intensively for publication. Ainsi, it was necessary to explore non-Western publications. The non-Western
geographies included in the study were: Indonésie, Japan, Kazakhstan, Russia, the Middle East (y compris
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman) and selected African countries (Egypt,
Tunisia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Uganda and South Africa).

In terms of the search strategy, it was decided to use local databases and search engines providing
data written in local languages. In relation to Japanese literature, the most leveraged literature databases in
Japan were used, namely, CiNii, J-Global and researchmap.jp, as well as the most popular search engine,
yahoo.co.jp. The specific search strategy (keywords connected with Boolean operators) was defined and is
shown in Appendix 1. Keywords included, but were not limited to ‘FAIR’, ‘data’ as well as the translation
of the word ‘data’ in the respective languages. The time frame for the search was from 2014 à 2021,
because the FAIR Guidelines started gaining attention in 2014. Google Scholar was also used as a supplement
to find resources. Enfin, yandex.ru was used to find literature in Russian language, as it is the most used
search engine in Russian speaking regions.

The selection criteria for the literature were defined. Articles written in languages other than English that
contain keywords and discuss the introduction or the adoption of FAIR Guidelines in specific regions or
countries were selected. Articles written in English and that focus on applying FAIR data in geographies
located in the Southern and Eastern hemispheres were also chosen, as English is the dominant language
for scientific publications. The selection was further refined using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Literature
was included if the FAIR Guidelines were implemented to make a novel and concrete academic proposal
in the study, and grey literature was included if cutting-edge policies in terms of FAIR were mentioned.
On the other hand, literature was excluded if duplication was identified or if the content was considered
irrelevant (by screening abstracts and titles) or assessed as non-eligible. Among the selected literature, deux
masters theses from co-authors, Putu Hadi Purnama Jati and Aliya Aktau were included, as they reflect the
latest local developments in adopting FAIR Guidelines in Indonesia and Kazakhstan. The selection process
is illustrated in the following workflow (Chiffre 1).

The literature was collected and stored in an Excel file with detailed information such as geography and
langue. The results of the search of the literature are shown in alphabetical order in Table 1. Le
publications written in a language other than English are given in Appendix 2.

Qualitative data analysis was performed using open, axial and selective coding as a grounded theory
method. The reason for choosing this method is that the concepts emerge from the raw data and are later
grouped into conceptual categories in the process of open coding, with the goal to build a descriptive,
multi-dimensional preliminary framework for later analysis. By doing so, the process itself ensures the
validity of the work, as it comes directly from the raw data [2]. Axial coding was then conducted to relate
codes (categories and concepts) to each other through a combination of inductive and deductive thinking.
As a final step, the selective coding was used to gather a complete picture of the information obtained
during the data collection process [3]. The results of selective coding, based on each non-Western geography,
were further classified as recognition of the issue (the need to make data findable, accessible, interoperable,

and reusable), the implementation of FAIR Guidelines is seen as a solution, and a climate for change exists.
It was then possible to identify if a window of opportunity was open in the particular country for the
potential adoption of FAIR. The results are presented in the next section.

3. RÉSULTATS: IMPLEMENTATION OF FAIR

3.1 Indonésie

In Indonesia, there have been problems with data gaps among government ministries and institutions.
In government agencies, land data, agricultural production, and unemployment can be controversial and
are heavily discussed. Dans 2016, in a meeting to coordinate the economic census, the President of Indonesia
expressed his dissatisfact ion with the lack of data sharing and the inconsistencies in data from government
agencies [4]. As a result of the weak collaboration between government agencies, the government has been
unable to optimise its data management and effectively use the data it currently has [5].

In order to solve its data management problem, the Government of Indonesia wants to increase the
l'intégration, synergy and the coherence of data generation [6]. Towards this end, various meetings and
in-depth discussions have been held by ministers and heads of departments [6]. Par conséquent, the Indonesian
government has come up with a two-pronged strategy for data management, which is being implemented
under Satu Data Indonesia.

The first part of the strategy is enhancing collaboration by developing an organisation for data production
within the government. Under this arrangement it is believed that sectoral fragmentation can be eliminated
and collaboration facilitated, as the project forces all relevant ministries and agencies to communicate
before the publication of information [5]. The second component is the data principle. The Indonesian
government believes that rules for data production are needed, in addition to coordination. Donc, four
data principles have been initiated: (je) data has to conform with data standards, (ii) metadata has to be
available, (iii) data must be interoperable, et (iv) a reference code for data must be used. Bien que le
Indonesian government’s data principles do not mention FAIR, Satu Data Indonesia has some similarities
with FAIR. It follows the FAIR Guidelines in the following ways [5]:

•

The data standards and code reference requirement of Satu Data Indonesia follow the third facet of
the FAIR Guideline ‘Reusability’ (R1.3), which requires data to meet domain-relevant community
normes.
Satu Data Indonesia’s interoperability principle follows the FAIR Guideline of ‘Interoperability’, lequel
requires data to be interoperable.
Satu Data Indonesia’s metadata principle follows all the facets of the FAIR Guideline of ‘Findability’
(F1, F2, F3, F4) and the first facet of ‘Reusability’ (R1) in relation to the metadata requirement.

 There are 15 facets of FAIR: F1, F2, F3, F4, A1, A1.1, A1.2, A2, I1, I2, I3, R1, R1.1, R1.2, and R1.3.

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

Three out of four of the principles of Satu Data Indonesia are identical to FAIR: data should conform to

data standards, metadata should be accessible, and data should be interoperable.

While FAIR is not mentioned in Satu Data Indonesia, awareness of FAIR exists among Indonesia’s
academia. Ainsi, the idea of FAIR data as a strategy for data management is not simply an administrative
mouvement, but plays an important role in guiding scientists in the proper collection, storage and sharing
of research data in a sustainable way [7]. De plus, FAIR data was mentioned as one of the main criteria
for complying with the Open Science Framework (OSF) dynamic repository and static institutional repository.
Dans 2020, Indonesia’s science repository clearly stated in its guidance that the FAIR Guidelines are to be
implemented to support open science [8].

As mentioned above, Indonesia is implementing strategies to improve data management by streamlining
the data from various government agencies [5]. Satu Data Indonesia was published in 2019 to guide the
coordination and implementation of data management principles by Indonesian ministries and agencies to
improve the quality of data produced by the Indonesian government. The Ministry of National Development
is the driving force behind Satu Data Indonesia and has consistently suggested that the President of Indonesia
regulate it. In addition, researchers in Indonesia have increased their awareness of data management by
implementing FAIR Guidelines to support open science. Donc, it appears that there is a window of
opportunity open for the implementation of FAIR, as there is evident potential to implement the FAIR
Guidelines in Indonesia by extending the model for the management of government data as well as data
in research repositories.

3.2 Japan

Regarding the adoption of FAIR in Japan, most of the scenarios are about the improvement of the
distribution of research data, although the specific context varies. Par exemple, due to the explosion of
digitised data in the field of agricultural research, it is necessary to establish an approach to collecting and
managing such data efficiently to improve the research environment, as well as to provide mechanisms to
facilitate the application of statistical analysis and machine learning. On the other hand, a new approach
under the frame of a central data management system is considered necessary in order to increase the
legitimacy of research data and avoid data breaches. Donc, the Government of Japan has launched a
new data management strategy to support universities and research institutes focusing on data archiving,
management and queries [9].

En même temps, some FAIR equivalencies are being discussed by academics in Japan, and some have
even been adopted by Japanese research institutes [9]. Par exemple, Dataverse (https://dataverse.org),
developed by Harvard University, is one of the systems adopted by Japanese institutes. Dataverse is also
used by the French public research institute dedicated to agricultural science (INRA) and the International
Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). This platform increases the accessibility and
reusability of data. Dans 2020, the National Institute of Informatics in Japan decided to adopt GakuNin
research data management (RDM) (https://rdm.nii.ac.jp), which is a localised open-source software based

on the Open Science Framework (OSF: https://cos.io/our-products/osf) stemming from the Center for Open
Sciencelink in the United States. GakuNin is a platform for accessing research data in a sharable manner,
similar to J-STAGE Data, which is another FAIR equivalent platform. Cependant, the aforementioned systems
and services all have a problem in terms of accessibility, to various extents, due to the fact that the design
purpose is to protect research data. Par exemple, problems with accessibility occur when shared folders
are used in the built-in database. In particular, this refers to automatic modification triggered by adding
unique IDs and the fact that changing organisations results in the automatic inheritance of access rights
from the parent directory. The authority of accessibility is also automatically identified by checking whether
data fields (par exemple., funds and licence, confidentiality types, and personal information) exister. De plus,
specialised functionalities are required in the field of agriculture in relation to setting up metadata freely,
the use of agricultural terminology, and data querying [9].

In terms of FAIR equivalence, the data management plan (DMP) templates in Japan are in line with the
FAIR Guidelines. A DMP is a plan for how to manage, handle, maintain, store and publish data collected
and created for research, and can maximise the value of investments in research results by enabling the
reuse of data and ensuring that data is managed efficiently and appropriately [10]. If DMP templates can
be created and implemented flawlessly, the data is able to be reused over time. OpenAIRE and the European
Commission’s FAIR data experts conducted a survey on templates among DMP creators and support staff
dans 2017 [11]. Approximately 60% of respondents perceived the process of creating and supporting DMP
templates positively, et 16% perceived viewed it negatively. Cependant, there is concern that researchers
might have to spend too much time making DMP templates, the purpose of which is to save them time.
Donc, there is a need to develop a DMP tool. Based on the output of the DMP, the author has further
analysed the discussion and discoveries to the RDM tool in the next section [12].

In relation to the adoption of FAIR in public research (par exemple., by national universities), there has been an
emphasis on increasing data reusability and preventing academic dishonesty. Par exemple, institutional
research organisations like national universities have allocated significant financial and human resources
to research activities since institutional research (IR) was introduced in Japan in early 1990s, but there are
still problems with regards to the lack of professionals and technological skills. Tasks that require information
technologie (IT) solutions are usually outsourced, which generates concern about data security [13].

Last, but not the least, FAIR data has also been implemented in citizen science, interlinked with
community-based participatory research for solving socio-environmental issues [14]. In a recent study by
Kondo et al. dans 2019, a theoretical framework called ‘open team science’, featured in a data visualisation
method based on the FAIR Guidelines, was created and will be tested using case studies [15].

Various strategies are needed to deal with the issues outlined above. First of all, a data scheme for the
new system, called the Linked Database (narolin DB), has been proposed by the National Institute of
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (NARO) in Japan. This scheme is guided by the Japanese government in

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

terms of building the research data repository and is based on the FAIR Guidelines. The main purpose is
to improve the reusability, interoperability and shareability of research data by implementing metadata. Dans
addition to typical metadata (such as title, author name, date, keywords and location), customised NARO
Commons metadata keywords have been created. Par exemple, there are numerous data classification to
indicate research categories (10 big groups, 60 middle groups, et 106 small groups), plus que 21,000
translatable keywords, and terminology about more than 14,000 species. All metadata are stored in Excel
and uploaded together with original data to the system [9].

Secondly, based on the findings on the DMP tool, it is considered necessary to decrease the burden of
making templates on researchers and improve the reusability of research data. Ainsi, next-generation
DMPs are needed that encompass the FAIR Guidelines, as well as the standardisation of DMPs and
development of active DMPs. In response, a RDM rubric has been developed to support researchers and
libraries in Japan. These RDM evaluation tools, which were developed to suit the situation in Japan, sont
considered to be useful for researchers and research institutions to visualise inadequacies and examine
priorities. These tools have been used by researchers in Japan and the results provide a clue to understanding
the needs in constructing the RDM service [12].

Thirdly, checklists based on the FAIR Guidelines can be applied to institutional research data in national
universities in Japan. These checklists can be used when the system is updated or modified. Such checklists
would also help university staff to understand the task better in terms of the requirements for institutional
research interoperability in certain systems. En particulier, the FAIR Guidelines allow users to add a unique
ID so that metadata holds explanatory information. This ID could be used by digital media and the network,
while also making it possible to authorise accessibility. The shareability of metadata is important during
the reconstruction phase, after data is collected, using analysis methods via a data warehouse. A system
with the following four elements is proposed with regards to the definition of analysis methods via data
warehouse and databases based on institutional research data, related to the maintenance and realisation
of metadata: (je) metadata, (ii) entity-relationship diagram, (iii) star scheme, et (iv) online analytical
traitement (OLAP) [13].

Dernièrement, the framework ‘open team science’ was developed in the Biwa Lake case study to achieve
boundary spanning with the transcend method and the goals were discovered and shared, allowing actors
with different interests to cooperate. The results of the questionnaire survey were disclosed as FAIR data.
Experience and lessons learnt can inform subsequent stages or new projects as input resources. In the
authors’ opinion, it is thus possible to bridge these boundaries by sharing information, knowledge and
wisdom through appropriate visualisation and dialogue based on FAIR data [14].

A new integrated innovation strategy was approved by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
dans 2018. The purpose of this strategy is to promote the formulation of data policies not only in the national
research institutes under its jurisdiction, but also in national experimental research institutes and independent
administrative agencies. The government white paper claims that, as one of the requirements for data
management, the FAIR Guidelines should be followed to enable research data to be found, accessed,

shared, and machine-readable in order to increase the efficiency of data-use in the research context [16].
In line with this new data policy, the implementation of FAIR data in Japan has been stepped up among
diverse actors. Par exemple, NARO is responsible for constructing the new system to improve the quality
of research data management in the field of agriculture. The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)
has claimed that it was necessary to develop a DMP since 2017, et en 2018 the New Energy and Industrial
Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and the Japan Agency for Medical Research and
Développement (AMED) expressed the same view [10].

The shareability of research data in open science is also being addressed and it is necessary to find a
solution to enable researchers, research institutions, libraries, and other stakeholders to use research data
in open science. With regards to community-based participatory research, researchers and societal
stakeholders (such as governmental agencies, industries, non-profit organisations and civil society) share
leadership roles to reach decisions. They work collaboratively to design research agendas, find solutions,
produce knowledge, and disseminate the results [17]. Collaborative learning and the integration of
information through mutual understanding between different actors is particularly important during this
processus [23, 24].

3.3 Kazakhstan

Since 2013, Kazakhstan’s focus in the field of digital healthcare has been on establishing an integrated
information environment, as the basis for personalised and preventive healthcare services [20]. The country
has allocated resources for integrated data infrastructure to improve people-centred health systems, y compris
through an Interoperability Platform, designed to address data fragmentation issues. To this end, 22 health
information systems provide statistics and analytics in Kazakhstan for better decision-making. Bien que le
implementation of the Interoperability Platform has been finished, the platform has not yet gone live and,
donc, data remains fragmented at the level of healthcare organisations, as it cannot interact [21].

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in Kazakhstan [22], one of the top three challenges
in the country is to develop capacity for handling data. The volume of data has grown rapidly in recent
années, making it necessary to not only improve the quality of data for interested parties and medical
personnel to easily access, but also to allow data to interact to facilitate the provision of healthcare
services as well as medical research. Because the introduction of the Interoperability Platform has been
unsuccessfully [23], data is still not findable, accessible, or interoperable and, donc, cannot be reused
by healthcare organisations. The FAIRification of data can address these issues, allow for the discovery of
meaningful patterns, and contribute to better decision-making, as well as saving billions of euros [24].

Health-related issues in Kazakhstan are identified by the Ministry of Health, which is pursuing reforms
and policies aligned with the national strategies [25]. To address the issue of data fragmentation, the Ministry
of Health has launched a number of programmes since 2013, which use international standards and
vocabularies and show a willingness to participate in global science. This may prompt the development of
a FAIR Data Point (FDP) for digital healthcare in Kazakhstan, contributing to the development of medical
science in Kazakhstan and open science globally.

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

In order to achieve sustainable development for the adoption and implementation of FAIR data, un
favourable environment, including an institutional framework, normes, data and funding for use-cases
must be provided, rather than investment in any particular technology [26]. À cet égard, the Government
of Kazakhstan is willing to develop a healthcare data infrastructure to serve as the foundation for the
provision of healthcare and medical research. A strong political resolution to improve health outcomes is
evident in a number of the recent reforms, including the digital health concept 2013–2020 [27], Densaulyk
2016–2019 [28] and State Health Development Program for year 2020–2025 [21]. All of these policies and
programmes endorse the interoperability of data and its efficient (concernant)utiliser.

Cependant, to implement FAIR data in Kazakhstan, awareness about FAIR needs to be raised more broadly.
If stakeholders understand the benefits that FAIR could bring to the country, their interest in FAIR may
increase. Cependant, as the people of Kazakhstan are used to a top-down approach, the government needs
to reach out through people who understand the value of FAIR data and promote it from bottom to top.
Combining both bottom-up and top-down approaches might yield results in terms of the acceptance of
FAIR in Kazakhstan, leading to its adoption.

3.4 Russia

In Russia, from a technological point of view, there is a problem with the logical integration, harmonisation,
and unification of heterogeneous data from different sources, specifically, interdepartmental government
information systems (electronic services) [29]. In addition, a single form of scientific data representation
and data management is lacking in the scientific community in Russia [35–37]. The key problem is not
about collecting, publishing and storing information, but about ensuring the findability, accessibility and
reusability of data, including on other platforms. FAIR data not only enables scientific results to be shared
in a form that is understandable by investors, government agencies and the public, but can also ensure
control over a large amount of scientific data [30].

In December 2018, Russia introduced the National Data Management System (NDMS) as part of its
national programme ‘Digital Public Administration’, to overcome the lack of logical integration, harmonisation
and unification of heterogeneous data generated from various sources. The NDMS has been crafted with
the purpose of repairing the fragmented information systems across the various ministries and departments
(electronic services), as well as enabling their interaction (interoperability). As this is a large-scale and
complex project, the solution was first tested in the Arctic macro-region [29], after which it is scheduled
to be rolled out across the rest of Russia.

The main goal of the NDMS is to increase the efficiency of the creation, collection and (concernant)use of state
data for the provision of state and municipal functions, and to meet the needs of individuals and legal
entities in terms of access to information. FAIR is seen as one of the most succinct frameworks for overcoming
data fragmentation. Ainsi, the adoption of FAIR is considered to be the next step in the management of
data in Russia [29].

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

Work is also underway in Russia to ensure access to information and data processing in the scientific
field and appropriate regulatory mechanisms are being developed. The Connecting Russian and European
Measures for Large-scale Research Infrastructures-plus (CREMLINplus) project is being developed by Russia
and the European Union to expand ties in the field of scientific and technical cooperation. This project is
based on providing international access to the Russian research infrastructure, as well as facilitating the
exchange of knowledge. The FAIR Guidelines are included in CREMLINplus in terms of the accessibility of
data from European research groups by Russian scientific infrastructure [30]. The FAIR Guidelines can
facilitate the integration of Russian research infrastructure with European research infrastructure, ainsi que
provide a basis for developing similar data management rules.

The NDMS concept considers FAIR data to be the foundation of the main international conceptual
requirements for data, and the FAIR Guidelines are already included in CREMLINplus. Both policies
recognise the need for the compatibility of data in different organisations and their effective use, which is
important for analytics and decision-making processes led by stakeholders from the central government. Dans
addition, the introduction and possible implementation of FAIR data was discussed in several articles
funded by the Russian Academy of Sciences [38–40]. Adopting FAIR in the management of research data
in order to effectively manage the data lifecycle in science is one of the concerns of Russian academia.
Although the findings indicate that there is potential for the adoption of FAIR in Russia, locally-owned data
management practices are still preferred, which means that a window of opportunity is not entirely open
and more awareness raising of the benefits of FAIR needs to be undertaken before it could firmly be on the
policy agenda.

3.5 Middle East

In the Middle East, there are many challenges with the management and sharing of research data.
A recent study found that more than half of Arabic researchers in Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia had no
DMP and 42% were unfamiliar with such plans [36]. Ainsi, it appears that this step in the research
lifecycle is a new concept for researchers. Dans cette étude, researchers were concerned more about issues of
confidentiality in relation to providing access to their research data [36]. In the same vein, a study by
Malone, which looked at the data sharing practices and perspectives of scientists in the Middle East (dans
Gulf Cooperation Council countries), also indicated that the majority of researchers (72%) are either not
required to have a DMP as part of their research project or do not know if one is required [37]. This common
practice may explain the almost complete absence of articles documenting the use or implementation of
FAIR Guidelines in the Middle East.

Governmental bodies, especially higher education institutions, are at the cutting edge of scientific
research in the Middle East. Cependant, this research faces many challenges, such as a lack of focus with
respect to research priorities and strategies and insufficient funding to reach research goals. Malgré le fait
that sharing research data has been recognised as a strong scientific need, several major research efforts in

 Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

the region—such as the Arab Strategy for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation; the National
Policy and Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation 2013–2017 in Jordan; the Science, Technologie
and Innovation Policy in the United Arab Emirates; and the National Strategy for Science, Technology and
Innovation 2015–2030 in Egypt—have restricted the sharing of research data, which impacts not only on
how they profit from research outputs and published articles, but also how researchers in the Middle East
can exchange published research outputs. En outre, no focus is given to unpublished data sets or raw
data [37].

Despite this, some initiatives in this field deserve to be mentioned. D'abord, there is Research Output
Management through Open Access Institutional Repositories in Palestinian Higher Education (ROMOR),
launched in 2016 under the auspices of the European Union’s Erasmus Plus programme. Over the course
of three years, this project aimed to build capacity for research output management in four Palestinian
universities by establishing Open Access Institutional Repositories (OAIRs) based on the FAIR Guidelines
in order to increase the accessibility, interoperability and reusability of research data [38]. Secondly, nous
can also point to the experience of using a digital data management system called ‘Lesionia’, which is an
open-source web application for the collection, management and analysis of clinical and epidemiological
data related to patients suspected of having cutaneous leishmaniasis. It was initially conceived and
developed in the frame of the PEER518 project, funded by the United States Agency for International
Development-National Academy of Sciences (USAID-NAS). This system is meant to enable researchers
within the project consortium to enter and access data using the FAIR criteria. The project consortium
included nine institutions based in five countries: Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon, Mali and the USA [39].

Although a window of opportunity for the implementation of FAIR is not quite open in the Middle East,
countries in the region are in the early phase of data sharing and have identified the problem (lack of data
sharing and management policies and formal mechanisms for openly sharing data) and are working towards
a solution. This process can be pushed forward through partnerships with transnational universities—and
the mood seems to be receptive of this now, as evidenced by the various projects discussed above. These
international collaborations with experienced researchers can promote a culture of research and pave the
way for the implementation of FAIR.

3.6 African Countries

3.6.1 Continental Level

In Africa, the focus brought by about by the FAIR Guidelines is on digital health initiatives, lequel
currently suffer from a lack of capacity to share health data among stakeholders in the health sector. Pour
instance, the multiple health data systems in Africa were not connected during the Ebola outbreak that
occurred in West Africa from 2013 à 2016. Donc, major challenges were faced in containing the
maladie [40]. Since early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in significant loss of life, ainsi que
economic loss, in Africa and the world. Although suboptimal data management and data reuse have been
leveraged during this epidemic, as with the Ebola epidemic, access to valuable data about past epidemics,

and the current one, has not been provided equally for different populations in different places on the
African continent [41]. These experiences have sparked the African community to consider a digital solution
for current and future outbreaks, namely, a digital platform to increase the accessibility of health data.

On a continental level, various initiatives have been taken to examine data issues occurring in Africa.
One example is the African Open Science Platform (AOSP), which has been launched to bring African
scientist to the cutting edge of modern technology, so that data-intensive science can be used to solve
the challenges being faced. In addition to AOSP, there are several sister initiatives, such as the GO FAIR
Implementation Network Africa (IN-AFRICA) and the Committee on Data for Science and Technology
(CODATA). The aim is to cover FAIR and open science infrastructure in Africa to enable smooth access to
data and provide enhanced computing capacity [42].

During the COVID-19 pandemic, besides the community healthcare providers holding the first line of
defence against coronavirus, experts from other domains have also contributed to the fight, y compris
computer and data scientists. The researchers are dedicated to providing understandable artificial intelligence
(AI)-ready data for machines to conduct analytics to discover patterns in epidemic outbreaks so that the
impacts of the virus can be mitigated. In order to provide machine actionable data, the Virus Outbreak
Data Network (VODAN) Implementation Network (IN) was created by CODATA, together with the Research
Data Alliance (RDA), World Data System (WDS) of the International Science Council (ISC) and GO FAIR.
The FAIR-based project VODAN-Africa produces machine readable data in electronic health records using
the FAIR Guidelines, together with technical ability and commitment from experts in the affected
des pays [41]. FAIR-based data and metadata ensure the discoverability of data. To implement this approach,
FAIR (meta)data is opened up by publishing data on FDPs, enabling algorithms to find patterns by searching
ces (meta)data [43].

3.6.2 Regional Level

Plans on the regional level have also been drafted, especially in East Africa. These plans consist of an
assessment of regional visions and goals and the actions required to achieve these goals—which has led
to the creation of the Digital REACH Initiative. This plan brings together all the stakeholders from the East
African Community (EAC) with the specific aim of improving health outcomes across the region through
the use of digital health. It is believed that coordination in digital health will result in economic efficiencies,
including the sharing of digital health resources across the region; improvements in health systems through
enhanced data sharing, policies and standards; and improved decision making through the use of data and
disease surveillance [44].

One of the main potential health programmes discussed in this plan is the East Africa Open Science
Cloud for Health (EAOSCH). This programme aims to create a supporting structure for the seamless sharing
of health data across EAC partner states. Through this health programme, a real-time regional data warehouse
is intended to capture, store, retrieve, analyse and manage national and regional health in East Africa.
But in order to enable cross-border healthcare in the EAC region, harmonisation is required including

interoperable work stream sets and shared standards for digital health [44]. As the FAIR Guidelines articulate
the attributes of data needed to enhance the reusability of data for both humans and machines [45], ils
have been proposed as a tool to enhance the reusability of data. The initiative finds that the establishment
of this real-time data warehouse enhances the ability to share health data across the EAC.

3.6.3 Egypt and Tunisia

In North Africa, two data repositories were listed on re3data.org: the first being a government data
repository in Egypt, namely, Egypt’s Information Portal [46], and the second being the African Development
Bank’s statistical data portal Open Data for Africa, which includes Tunisia [47]. Although these two research
data repositories provide open access to their data, and the terms of use and licences for the data are
provided, they do not use a persistent identifier (PID).

More recently, in order to address the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Tunisia also
participated in the VODAN Implementation Network carried out by GO FAIR, in collaboration with other
institutions, such as the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). This work aims to implement FAIR
Guidelines in relation to non-patient COVID-19 data to establish the impact of the pandemic on migrants,
refugees and asylum seekers from sub-Saharan African countries. The pre-FAIRification phase has been
completed and the FAIRification phase is in progress. For the moment, data on migrants are available for
consumption through an FDP-deployed and hosted on the website of the University of Sousse in Tunisia
(https://fdp.uc.rnu.tn) [48]. The initiative VODAN-Africa is based on the FAIR Guidelines and involves,
especially in the case of Tunisia, the University of Sousse as a partner. The main goal of this collaboration
is to develop expertise on FAIRification through capacity building workshops, exchange of experiences and
so forth.

3.6.4 Kenya

In Kenya, digital innovation is taking place in data management in healthcare, which has intensified
during the COVID-19 pandemic. VODAN-Africa has created its own solution with the aim of providing
accessible COVID-19 data by establishing an overarching network implementing the FAIR Guidelines.
Kenya is one of the leading participants in this initiative. Not only does FAIR data play an important role
in healthcare in Kenya, but it has the potential to improve the data ecosystem in other sectors. One example
is the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), which has used the FAIR Guidelines to FAIRify its
livestock data [49]. Although the FAIR Guidelines look straightforward, some challenges have occurred
during the implementation of this project. Par exemple, the lack of resources has created problems in terms
of data findability, whereas accessibility was not able to be provided due to the unclear roles and
responsibilities of data stewards. Tools were well prepared to implement interoperability, but a lot of plans
were required to make SQL databases open access. And reusability was questionable, in terms of how
useful it is to make raw data available [49].

3.6.5 Zimbabwe and Uganda

Zimbabwe and Uganda are two of the main partners in VODAN-Africa. Together with VODAN-Africa’s
other partners, these two countries plan to make research data findable, accessible and reusable. The first
machine readable FDP was installed on 22 Juillet 2020 at Kampala International University, Uganda. Ce
will be followed by other installations in partner universities and hospitals [50]. The successful implementation
of FAIR requires three pillars [51]: (je) firstly, cultural adaptation (GO CHANGE) is required, which is defined
as making the FAIR Guidelines a working standard; (ii) next, technical infrastructure is needed (GO BUILD);
et, lastly, (ii) training is needed as the idea is novel and there is a lack of skilled people (GO TRAIN) [52].

Another initiative that should be mentioned here is a collaboration between a local health provider,
SolidarMed, which is a non-profit association, and the Great Zimbabwe University in the Masvingo
Province, Zimbabwe. This initiative aims to solve the needs of local hospitals and communities and is using
the FAIR Guidelines to assess the FAIRness of systems [53].

3.6.6 Afrique du Sud

The FAIR Guidelines are also being implemented in South Africa. CODATA of the ISC works on improving
the availability and usability of data for research. CODATA believes that data should be open or FAIRified
in an intelligent way in order to advance data usability and interoperability [54]. Different partners are
collaborating with CODATA. In South Africa, the CODATA member organisation is the National Research
Fondation, which aims to improve the quality of life of all South Africans by supporting and promoting
the development of new technologies and knowledge [55].

One of the projects being implemented in South Africa is AOSP, which is funded by the South African
Government’s Department of Science and Technology, with the collaboration of the National Research
Fondation, the ISC and CODATA. This platform aims to determine the current state of data science
initiatives in Africa and promote open science by increasing the number of participants using FAIR data in
the global ecosystem. Policy frameworks, training and technical infrastructure are also needed for the
successful operation of AOSP [56].

Trust by African communities in European innovation is limited [53]. The COVID-19 pandemic has been
a catalyst for the implementation of FAIR, which has been carried forward by VODAN-Africa. VODAN-
Africa has unified a number of stakeholders, including ministries of health, universities and hospitals in
Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tunisia and Zimbabwe [57]. Par exemple, the Great Zimbabwe University
identified the VODAN project as a new generation of data and services [51] and the first FDP was installed
at Kampala International University [50]. Complex challenges could be solved by the integration of diverse
data resources, but the engagement of more societal actors is necessary, and the priorities of each stakeholder
should be considered. With regard to FAIR implementation, Africa should adapt FAIR in its own way,
according to its own societally-engaged priorities [40].

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

4. DISCUSSION

The results show that Kazakhstan and Russia remain in a preliminary phase of FAIR adoption, compared
to Japan and Indonesia. In Russia, the focus at the moment is to introduce the FAIR concept to researchers
and stakeholders in scientific data publishing. Indonesia has developed its own FAIR data equivalent system,
called Satu Data Indonesia, which is led by the government. Japan is ahead in terms of the adoption of
FAIR, compared to its counterparts in Asia, Kazakhstan and Russia, and has implemented FAIR in various
fields such as agriculture, institutional research and citizen science.

The analysis of the literature indicates that the need for FAIR data is recognised in research data
management and the healthcare sector, and that in most of the countries researched there are attempts to
find a solution based on FAIR data to manage digitalised data on a large scale in a more efficient manner.
Yet in Japan and Kazakhstan, central data management tends to be preferred. The reasons for this differ per
the country. In Kazakhstan, data are used to a top-down approach to digital data repositories. On the other
main, concern about the legitimacy of research data and avoiding data breaches is growing in Japan and,
in response, the government has launched a new data management strategy to support universities and
research institutes in terms of data archives, management and queries. In Indonesia a localised FAIR
equivalent called Satu Data Indonesia is being implemented. Satu Data Indonesia consists of two main
strategies: better coordination among different government agencies for data production and a series of
data production principles (that data must conform to data standards; metadata must be available; data
must be interoperable; and a reference code must be used for data). The use of FAIR equivalent principles
is also identified in Japan. Par exemple, in Japan, the National Institute of Informatics (NII), has adopted
FAIR equivalent principles since 2020 on its site GakuNin RDM (https://rdm.nii.ac.jp), which connects
research data among Japanese academia, making it accessible and reusable. As another FAIR equivalent
système, a DMP was used to maximise the value of investments in research through the reuse of publications
and to guarantee data management. Malheureusement, creating DMP templates is time-consuming.

In Japan, it appears that climate is right for the adoption of FAIR data. By answering the call of the
Japanese government to promote the formulation of FAIR data policies, as well as tackling the challenges
identified, several stakeholders from universities, national research institutes and independent administrative
agencies have explored the possibility of applying FAIR data. Par exemple, NARO has proposed a data
scheme for narolin DB, constructed by following the FAIR Guidelines. The goal is to ensure and improve
the reusability, interoperability and shareability of research data by implementing metadata supported by
the FAIR Guidelines. FAIR data also allows users to add customised NARO Commons metadata keywords
and terminology, in addition to common metadata such as title, author name, date, keywords and location.
In Indonesia, Satu Data is very similar to the FAIR Guidelines, with three out of its four principles identical
to the FAIR Guidelines of Findability, Interoperability and Reusability. FAIR is, donc, considered to be
a potential tool to extend the current proposal in fields such as government data management as well as
research repositories.

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

As to FAIR implementation in Africa and the Middle East, the analysis indicates that there is also a
window of opportunity open. Spécifiquement, there is a demand for a research data management system to be
built for data sharing among Arab researchers, and the FAIR Guidelines are seen as a solution to fill the
gap created by the lack of a DMP, as an important step in the research lifecycle for scientists in the Middle
East. Although there is a lack of details on FAIR implementation in general, cooperation between Middle
East and the West has been established. Par exemple, a data management system called ‘Lesionia’ was built
based on FAIR data, and the project ROMOR not only launched a series of summer school courses to help
train junior scientists, support service staff, and librarians on how to apply FAIR data to research data related
to accessibility, interoperability and reusability, but also focused on constructing OAIRs that aggregate and
enable access to the collective Palestinian research data.

En outre, FAIR data is suggested as a feasible solution to healthcare data management and environmental
issues on the African continent. There are three main projects, namely: AOSP, CODATA and VODAN-Africa,
all based on FAIR data, although carried out through different channels, on a regional or country level,
with different stakeholders. AOSP has been defined as supporting open science, while CODATA and
VODAN-Africa aim to optimise health data management to protect people from the impact of COVID-19.
On a regional level, the Digital REACH Initiative and East Africa Open Science Cloud for Health have been
organised to improve the general health of local citizens in East Africa by introducing a real-time digital
health platform, in which FAIR data is used to enhance the reusability and shareability of health data in
the community. As to specific African countries, the main participants of the VODAN-Africa project are
Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, Tanzania, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. South Africa plays an
important role in bridging AOSP and CODATA. Like in Japan and Indonesia, the implementation of FAIR
equivalent systems is found in Egypt and Tunisia. Research data repositories are included on re3data.org,
namely: Egypt’s Information Portal and the African Development Bank’s statistical data portal Open Data
for Africa. The purpose of both repositories is to increase the shareability of data in a real-time manner and
to promote local open science.

In conclusion, a window of opportunity for implementing the FAIR Guidelines is open in Asia, Africa
and the Middle East, confirming the feasibility of FAIR Guidelines, cependant, more awareness needs to be
raised in Russia and Kazakhstan about the benefits of FAIR to ensure that it is firmly on the policy agenda.

5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

This study conducted a systematic literature review and analysis regarding the implementation of FAIR-
data in non-Western geographies (Africa, Indonésie, Japan, Kazakhstan, Russia and the Middle East). Il
found that windows of opportunity are open in most of the non-Western countries investigated with regard
to the implementation of the FAIR Guidelines, cependant, to different degrees. Four different levels can be
identified: At the first level, the FAIR Guidelines have been discussed, but more effort needs to be made to
raise awareness of the problem and benefits of the solution to place it on the policy agenda (par exemple., Kazakhstan,
Russia, countries in the Middle East, some countries in Africa). At the second level, FAIR equivalent systems

Implementation of FAIR Guidelines in Selected Non-Western Geographies

have been implemented, such as Satu Data Indonesia. This system mainly serves as a bridge among different
governmental agencies in Indonesia, and data interoperability is restricted to within the local context. More
observations are needed about the use of this FAIR equivalent system in Indonesia. Many African countries
are currently at the third level, c'est, they are in the process of adopting the FAIR Guidelines, bien que
at different stages. Dernièrement, Japan is at the fourth level, as it has not only implemented FAIR equivalent systems,
such as GakuNin RDM, but also created localised systems based on the FAIR Guidelines, such as narolin
DB. The implementation and interoperability of such systems in a global context of data interaction needs
to be considered in the future.
