The SIMBAD astronomical database is a dataset published in Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series (2000). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 6.3, placing it in the top 3.1% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 2,333 times, with 100 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 49/100.
Ranks in the top 3% 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
This score predates the current agent — it came from the earlier rubric, which blended repository metadata into the number and asked the model for a rating rather than an evidenced verdict. Re-evaluate the paper to score it against the current standards-anchored criteria, where every verdict is backed by a quote from the full text.

The paper describes rich metadata schemes (e.g., hierarchical object types, coordinates, magnitudes, spectral types), but does not claim machine-readable metadata standards or structured data serialization formats in the provided text.
Open Access
0 OA location(s)
Access protocols are described (WWW, telnet, client/server), yet authentication and restricted access for a charged service limit fully open access despite specifying URLs and usage procedures.

The use of common standards (bibcodes, ICRS coordinates, object-type hierarchy) is evident, but the text lacks explicit mention of formal data interchange standards (e.g., XML, standard vocabularies like VO-URP) for full interoperability.
