Scientists, scholars, funders, publishers, and technologists from all over the world convened to enhance the value of research data by making them FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. Attendees gathered in Berlin to be a part of the important conversation to connect FAIR to digital annotation and data at the second annual Annotating All Knowledge Coalition face-to-face meeting, 9:00–17:00 CEST 24 Oct 2017, co-located with FORCE2017. The conference was co-hosted by Hypothesis with European PubMed Central, and organized in collaboration with ContentMine, PaperHive, and Pundit. For more, visit our companion blog post.
