Multimodal gait dataset with floor accelerations, inertial sensor data, and synchronized video from controlled walking trials is a dataset published in Data in Brief (2025). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0, placing it in the top 100% of the data-sharing corpus. Its calibrated FAIR score is 67/100.
Ranks in the top 100% for downstream scientific impact
DataRank reads this dataset's downstream impact straight off the citation graph — no black box, no proprietary weighting. How is this computed?
FAIR checklist signals are shown for context only and do not affect DataRank scoring.
Full FAIR picture · advisory
The headline score is computed from the scored criteria — the fact-shaped checks (a repository, an accession, a licence) that two independent models agree on. The advisory criteria below are real FAIR guidance but rest on judgment calls that models read differently, so they inform without moving the number.
