The astronomy, heliophysics and planetary science communities are advanced communites for open science and the application of the FAIR principle. With the OSTrails project, we propose to go a step further. OSTrails is organized around three pillars:
- Plan: adoption of a machine actionable Data Management Plan tool to streamline the data life cycle management
- Track: merging existing knowlegde graphs and research product registries to enable new data discovery and impact tracking pathways
- Assess: definition of what FAIR means for astronomy and its sub-communities.
We will also show how to build on previous work (e.g., FAIR-IMPACT) and current developments (like https://ontoportal-astro.eu, developed through the OPAL project). We present how these three pillars are great enhancing the FAIR principles of these communites, with better data management, improved findability and FAIR assessment.
