One example of FAIR mathematics is the project small phylogenetic trees: an early 2000’s mathematical library transformed into a modern website, a software package, and a best practice report.
The MaRDI HelpDesk team together with maintainers of the original library, researchers actively using the content, and in discussion with data stewards and information specialists, took the original database and made it FAIR. In particular, the team successfully tackled three interlinked work packages. For one, they set up a modern website displaying the content of the library in a straightforward, user friendly fashion, available at algebraicphylogenetics.org. Two, they heavily focused on providing thorough computational proof for every result displayed. To achieve this, the website was supplemented by the AlgebraicPhylogenetics.jl software. The code is part of the AlgebraicStatistics.jl package in the OSCAR project, written in the programming language Julia. Three, the team wrote an extended project report, including before-and-after analysis of FAIRness and a research-data management plan. This report discusses lessons learned and provides guidelines for other, similar projects to FAIR their own data.

Humanities@NFDI: Working Together for Sustainable Research Data
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration for Preserving Cultural Heritage
Humanities@NFDI brings together four NFDI consortia to ensure the long-term accessibility and reuse of research data in the humanities and cultural sciences. Through shared standards, vocabularies, and community-driven activities, the initiative fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthens digital cultural heritage research.
QualidataNet by KonsortSWD-NFDI4Society is the “central point of entry” for qualitative data and its secondary use.
QualidataNet – Making Qualitative Research Data Visible and Reusable
QualidataNet is the central access point for the reuse, archiving, and research data management of qualitative research data. Its search portal improves the visibility and discoverability of qualitative datasets from different providers. Through practical guidance, tools such as the open-source anonymization tool QualiAnon, and contributions to international metadata standards, QualidataNet supports researchers, educators, and institutions working with qualitative data. At the same time, the network fosters collaboration, exchange, and a stronger culture of qualitative data reuse across the community.

Forum4MICA – Making Research Data Knowledge Accessible Together
Forum4MICA connects researchers and research data centers on one central platform. It provides a space to ask questions, exchange expertise, and discuss complex datasets from the social, behavioral, educational, and economic sciences. Through direct interaction with experts and the research community, the platform is building a sustainable knowledge archive for research data management and scientific collaboration.
