FAIR principles and the IEDB: short-term improvements and a long-term vision of OBO-foundry mediated machine-actionable interoperability is a dataset published in Database (2018). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 1.3, placing it in the top 15.9% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 39 times, with 33 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 53/100.
Ranks in the top 16% for downstream scientific impact
Linked data & code
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.

no OpenAlex id
The IEDB provides rich metadata with up to 400 attributes per assay, but the paper acknowledges that not all metadata is consistently linked to external vocabularies or machine-readable.
Open Access
0 OA location(s)
Data is accessible via HTTP without authentication, but the paper notes that the primary HTML interface is not optimally machine-actionable, requiring screen scraping, and alternative machine-readable formats are not automatically discoverable.
linked_datasets=0, datacite=0
accessions=0, trials=0
The IEDB uses OBO Foundry ontologies and standard formats like JSON-LD, but the paper states that not all fields use external vocabularies and links to vocabularies are not consistently explicit.

no version chain
is_dataset
The IEDB has added a CC BY 4.0 license and provenance information, but the paper indicates that machine-readable licensing and provenance are still being implemented, and community standards for epitope data are not formally established.
