ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to distinguish the publishing of conclusions, claims, and insights in classical scientific articles and the publishing of data. Findability is largely related to quality of the data and particularly the metadata, as well as to the online findability of the repository in which they are actually stored. In general, FAIR metadata allow readers data and tools to participate in the FAIR open science ecosystem. Storing metadata or annotations in a FAIR format and in a high performance reusability environment is almost trivial from a cost perspective, and may be enough to make the actual data optimally reused. Writing massive data to tape and storing their rich and FAIR metadata in the cloud usually still considered as good data stewardship. Publishing data in their own right in open access is extremely important, and a key task for a good data steward.
