FAIR approach for Low Frequency Radio Astronomy (2401.03769v1)

Abstract: The Open Science paradigm and the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) are aiming at fostering scientific return, and reinforcing the trust in science production. The MASER (Measuring, Analysing and Simulating Emissions in the Radio range) services implement Open Science through a series of existing solutions that have been put together, only adding new pieces where needed. It is a "science ready" toolbox dedicated to time-domain low frequency radioastronomy, which data products mostly covers solar and planetary observations. MASER solutions are based on IVOA protocols for data discovery, on IHDEA tools for data exploration, and on a dedicated format developed by MASER for the temporal-spectral annotations. The service also proposes a data repository for sharing data collections, catalogues and associated documentation, as well as supplementary materials associated to papers. Each collection is managed through a Data Management Plan, which purpose is two-fold: supporting the provider for managing the collection content; and supporting the data centre for resource management. Each product of the repository is citable with a DOI, and the landing page contains web semantics annotations (using schema.org)
