Lifetime prevalence of owner-reported medical conditions in the 25 most common dog breeds in the Dog Aging Project pack is a dataset published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science (2023). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.577, placing it in the top 34% of the data-sharing corpus. It has been cited 16 times, with 14 citing works in its 1-hop citation network. Its calibrated FAIR score is 15/100.
Ranks in the top 34% 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.

“The University of Washington IRB deemed that recruitment of dog owners for the Dog Aging Project, and the administration and content of the DAP Health and Life Experience Survey (HLES), are human subjects research that qualifies for Category 2 exempt status (IRB ID no. 5988, effective 10/30/2018). No interactions between researchers and privately owned dogs occurred; therefore, IACUC oversight was not required.”
