FAIR images
Achieving FAIRness and Openness of (marine) image data requires structured and standardised metadata on the image data itself and the visual and semantic image data content. This metadata can be provided in the form of FAIR digital objects for images (iFDOs).
Checkout the iFDO documentation pages that describe how iFDOs are structured and why. An iFDO is a human and machine-readable file format for an entire image set, except that it does not contain the actual image data, only references to it through persistent identifiers! Efforts are ongoing to make iFDOs available through a Python package, as a plugin to BIIGLE and QGIS.
