BioLit: integrating biological literature with databases is a dataset published in Nucleic Acids Research (2008). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 4.1, placing it in the top 5.5% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 38 times, with 35 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 56/100.
Ranks in the top 5% 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.
DOI present
datacite=0, pmcid=True, pmid=True
no OpenAlex id
The paper describes rich metadata (PDB IDs, GO terms) embedded in XML files but lacks formal machine-readable metadata (e.g., schema.org or DataCite) for the resource itself.
Open Access
0 OA location(s)
The paper specifies URLs, FTP retrieval, and a URI-based access protocol for XML files, but does not describe an explicit authentication or licensing barrier; access is open but protocol is partially detailed.
linked_datasets=0, datacite=0
accessions=0, trials=0
The paper uses NLM DTD XML, OBO ontologies, and standard identifiers (PDB ID, GO ID, PMID, DOI), but does not adopt widely accepted vocabularies like DCAT or PROV for provenance.
no license
downloads=0
no version chain
is_dataset
The paper includes an open-access license (CC BY-NC 2.0 UK) and provides XML files for reuse, but lacks an explicit data-availability statement for code or a reproducibility recipe with dependencies and versioning.
