dc.description.abstract | Data standardization combined with descriptive metadata facilitate data reuse, which is
the ultimate goal of the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles. Community
data or metadata standards are increasingly created through an approach that emphasizes collaboration
between various stakeholders. Such an approach requires platforms for collaboration on the development
process that centers on sharing information and receiving feedback. Our objective in this study was to
conduct a systematic review to identify data standards and reporting formats that use version control for
developing data standards and to summarize common practices, particularly in earth and environmental
sciences. Out of 108 data standards and reporting formats identified in our review, 32 used GitHub
as the version control platform, and no other platforms were used. We found no universally accepted
methodology for developing and publishing data standards. Many GitHub repositories did not use key
features that could help developers to gather user feedback, or to create and revise standards that build
on previous work. We provide guidance for community-driven standard development and associated
documentation on GitHub based on a systematic review of existing practices | en_US |
