BioSharing: curated and crowd-sourced metadata standards, databases and data policies in the life sciences is a dataset published in Database (2016). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 6.2, placing it in the top 3.2% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 130 times, with 100 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 61/100.
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 BioSharing as a curated, searchable portal with detailed records including tags, controlled vocabularies, and cross-references, but does not explicitly state that the metadata is provided in machine-readable formats like RDF or JSON-LD.
Open Access
0 OA location(s)
The paper states that BioSharing is accessible via a web portal (https://www.biosharing.org) and provides search and browsing features, but does not specify a formal, standardized access protocol such as an API or SPARQL endpoint.
