First released 31st January 2023

Summary

This release contains two significant new features, FAIR Collections and the Dataset Administration Tab. In addition to these there updates to the cohort builder, bug fixes and some minor backend updates.

Release Features

Dataset Administration Tab

The Dataset Administration Tab groups together all of the existing administration functions for a dataset in one place, making it easier for Data Owners to manage their datasets. This feature also introduced some API changes which are detailed below.

Dataset Collections

FAIR Datasets is a new feature which allows Data Stewards to group related datasets into collections. Full details on how to use this feature are available in our Knowledge Base.

API Changes

The following API changes were released as part of FAIR-5085

New Endpoint: Datasets

/datasets/{code}/permissions Retrieves authenticated users permissions on a given dataset

Changes to Serialisation:

• workflow_key and visibility have moved into dataset settings for create, read and update
• allow_clear and allow pseudonymised have moved from workflow to dataset settings
• catalogue_definition_code has been added to dataset settings

{
settings: {
allow_clear: false,
allow_dataset_update_subscriptions: false,
allow_internal_cohorts: false,
allow_private_cohorts: true,
allow_pseudonymised: false,
dataset_actions: [],
expose_cohort_counts: false,
expose_cohort_visualisations: false,
visibility: 'private',
workflow_key: null,
catalogue_definition_code: 'standard-catalogue'
}

New Endpoint: Cohorts

/cohorts/{code}/permissions

Retrieves authenticated users permissions on a given cohort

Changes to Serialisation

• settings has been moved from below the query → dataset to the top level, they still refer to the dataset settings, but removes duplication when there are multiple queries
• workflow_key has been removed from to top level as now available in settings
• dataset_cohort_visibility_settings has been removed in favour of using the top level settings
• visibility at the top level is the visibility of the cohort, visibility in the settings is the visibility of the dataset. This will likely change in the near future to promote clarity.

{
  code: 'my-cohort',
  status: {
    request_enabled: {
      reasons: [],
      supported: true
    }
  },
  access: {
    query_access: true,
    dataset_access: true
  },

  },
  name: 'My Cohort',
  description: '',
  visibility: 'private',

New Endpoint: Searches

/searches/{code}/permissions

Retrieves authenticated users permissions on a given cohort

Requests

Only datasets that have a valid transfer format (allow_clear, allow_pseudonymised) will be requestable, this has been added to the request_enabled status. Applies to datasets and cohorts and to the requestable filter.

Changes to Serialisation

• Since requests return a serialised cohort, the changes to cohort above cascade through to the request cohort object

Workflows

allow_clear and allow_psedonymised have been moved to the dataset and can no longer be set or retrieved on the workflow

First released July 20, 2022

Summary

For customers hosting FAIR as part of their broader community or platform, we are happy to introduce custom actions. With this self-service configuration, customers can link datasets directly to other systems – such as a user forum or a reference site. The URL with a deep link to the other system can be dynamically constructed using information in the dataset catalogue.

We are pleased to release support for Azure Synapse as an external data source. This is a cloud-based parallel database version of Microsoft SQL Server which can now be used with the FAIR data delivery pipeline.

This release also includes some performance and security improvements and user interface bugfixes.

Released Features

Administrators can now add up to five custom actions which are available to data owners. They can specify the label, a tooltip and the URL template for the action. In addition, via service desk support, they can request a custom icon to be displayed. Custom actions open a new tab by default.

URL templates can use fields from the dataset catalogue. For example, a URL might require the dataset code (as a unique identifier for the dataset), but other keys could be used such as a DOI (the identifier field). In some cases, a field may require hierarchical key e.g. the name of the publisher is publisher.name. Some examples of URL templates:

https://www.example.com/path/to?dataset={code}
https://www.example.com/path/to/{code}
https://{code}.datasets.example.com
https://www.example.com/path/to/doi-aggregator/?doi={identifier}
https://www.example.com/path/to/?publisher={publisher.name} | FAIR-5031 | | Enhancement | Enforce template validation on catalogue save | Earlier this year, we introduced custom catalogue templates which enable a customer to extend the fields describing a dataset. As part of a phased introduction, we did not enforce compliance with the custom catalogue template at the time of saving catalogues. Going forward, when users create a new dataset catalogue entry or update an existing catalogue entry, its structure and contents will be checked against the default catalogue template set for that instance of FAIR. The user will not be able to save the catalogue if it does not match the required fields.

Note: Currently, only users of the API are able to submit entries with the full custom catalogue. Editing of full custom catalogue will be added to the user interface later in the year. | FAIR-4312 | | Enhancement | Change 'My datasets' filter in Dataset API to relate to sharing permissions not visiblity | Based on user feedback, we have improved the API support for dataset listing. The user interface will be updated in a later release. Previously, selecting the icon to ‘Show my datasets’ was too narrowly defined – it will now filter datasets based on sharing permissions. This should allow a user to see all the datasets they have elevated privileges to (e.g. to edit, or to view a private dataset). | FAIR-4631 | | Enhancement | Support Azure Synapse in data delivery pipeline | FAIR’s data delivery pipeline can now extract data from multiple sources including PostgreSQL, SQL Server and Azure Synapse. These sources are configured by the customer as external data sources per-dataset.

As part of implementing this feature we have also made some improvements to the data delivery pipeline with better handling of table names (dictionary codes) with upper and lower case characters as well as improving the error reports on failed transfers. | FAIR-4965 | | Enhancement | Privacy preserving web analytics rollout | Customers building their own platforms on the Aridhia DRE, including FAIR, want to understand usage patterns and how users navigate the DRE. In order to support this requirement, but mindful of user privacy, we have integrated a privacy-preserving web analytics component.

This feature is currently only enabled on implementations where the customer has requested it, is limited in scope to the DRE and customer’s own adjacent services, and requires users to consent to their browsing data being collected for this purpose. | FAIR-5081 | | Enhancement | Change service banner icon | This is a small user interface tweak to standardise icons and icon sizes for service banners. | FAIR-5115 | | BugFix | URL Resource Add button outside file bar click area | We fixed a user interface bug with adding URL resources – this minor update should make it easier for users to choose whether to add a file resource or add a URL resource. | FAIR-5146 | | BugFix | DAR Form Required Fields highlight covers new input | We fixed a user interface bug where overlapping components prevented completion of a data access request form when validation errors are found. | FAIR-5262 | | Enhancement | Supply Dataset Catalogue Definition to Camunda in DAR Payload | Data access requests can be customised using a business process model runtime engine. FAIR provides details for the request to the process which may interact with third party services from data providers, including federated data sources. With this change we have enriched the information provided to make it easier to align references for datasets which may appear in both FAIR and the federated data provider and more details of the dataset catalogue entry. | FAIR-5264 |

1.25.0

First released June 22, 2022

Summary

With this release, we introduce subscription notifications for datasets. Users can watch datasets they are interested in tracking for revisions. If they have approved data access requests they will be able to transfer updated versions of the datasets.

The release also includes a number of bug fixes related to data transfers and user on-boarding.

Upcoming Features

We're still working on the Cohort Builder which was released in "alpha" preview at the last release. Please send us feedback on that if you can.

Released Features

Updates may come in multiple forms – new or modified data may have been uploaded, or metadata edited. In some cases, data is not held directly in the FAIR system, but on another system but the data owner may still want to provide an update. At any point, the data owner can then notify users of a new revision with a headline title and a description. Users who have registered for updates will then receive an email with details of the update.

If the user has had an approved data access request that was already transferred to a workspace, they will be offered the option to make a new transfer, with the updated revision. Rejected data access requests or data access requests which have not yet been transferred will not be offered as an option. | FAIR-4793 | | Enhancement | API – Subscribing to Dataset Updates | We provide API support for users to register subscriptions. | FAIR-4799 | | BugFix | BUG – PMN Mask IP functions fails on DAR error | We fixed a bug with how some pseudonymisation functions were integrated with the data delivery pipeline. | FAIR-5130 | | BugFix | Data transfers fail intermittently with file delivery logic not in sequence | We fixed a bug in the way data deliveries were being executed. In some cases a transfer receipt might appear but no data. In other cases data might appear but no receipt. | FAIR-5131 | | BugFix | User creation fails on role assign audit | We fixed a bug with the onboarding sequence for users who registered for the DRE but did not use the FAIR data services in their first visit. Some users who had registered were presented with a message to say they were not registered, or with incomplete details of their registration. While they could be approved to access the services, the problem with their original registration meant that they might not receive notification emails. | FAIR-5215 |

1.24.0

First released June 08, 2022

Summary

A number of interesting enhancements with this release show our commitment to connectivity within the DRE but also integrations with the outside world. The receipt file for Data Access Requests improves the links within the DRE. URLs as resources improve connectivity with the scientific web. The ability to mark transfers as complete by API improves the integration of third party data deliveries.

We also include an enhanced audit feature based on customer feedback. Thanks!

Upcoming Features

We're still working on the Cohort Builder which was released in "alpha" preview at the last release. Please send us feedback on that if you can.

We expect to release a set of features to support dataset update notifications, subscriptions to updates and the ability to transfer updated data and metadata.

Released Features

With this release we are adding an experimental “receipt” that provides human readable information about the dataset at the time of transfer (catalogue highlights and dictionary information) as well as information on the data transfer itself. The receipt provides direct links and URLs back to the Dataset and Data Access Request. Having considered a PDF format, we opted for the Markdown file format as it provided the most integrated way of displaying the link. This works with the new Markdown rendering feature of Workspaces. | FAIR-4639 | | Enhancement | Add support for transfer history in data access requests | This enhancement is preparatory work for the upcoming feature around dataset update notifications and re-transferring. When that feature is enabled, the data access request view may show multiple dates for transfers indicating when data had been transfered after a notified update. | FAIR-4862 | | Enhancement | Mark Transfer as complete using a long life token as a data owner | Data Access Requests may be processed using custom business logic and integrations with third party systems. This enhancement supports customers who handle data transfers outside the DRE system. This might happen where data is delivered to a workspace from a third party system or manually by data stewards or even the user. In order to manage the correct life cycle state of the request in those cases, it is now possible to automate setting the transfer as “complete” using automation and the FAIR API. | FAIR-5010 |

1.23.0

First released May 25, 2022

Summary

We're pleased to share a preview of a major new feature, Cohort Builder that allows researchers to filter datasets based on the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria. They may also be visualise data and get estimates of record counts to help prepare for research. This is a limited "alpha" release, with some limitations. Please refer to the notes below. Our customer project teams will be following up to introduce the feature.

We are also adding a new API to support for syndication of metadata to HDR UK, the national institute for health data science. This will enable our customers to connect into the UK health research community.

Also included in the releases are some bug fixes and enhancements including audit.

Released Features

We have extended the FAIR API to facilitate syndication from the DRE to the Gateway. Standard FAIR metadata is presented in the format required for the Gateway, and customers can use existing role based access control and API keys to control access. This will provide the Gateway with the ability to pull metadata on a regular basis. | FAIR-4932 | | Enhancement | Cohort Builder – "alpha" preview release | Cohort Builder is a major new feature in FAIR that adds the ability to select and request subsets of data. This release introduces the preview “alpha” of the Cohort Builder. Customers can selectively test the functionality using role based access control and we will be gathering feedback while we work to develop the user experience.

Data owners remain in control of how data is accessed. In this version, they can set whether to allow the cohort builder module for their dataset. They can also set whether to allow visualisation tools and estimated record counts. We are interested in feedback on use cases and governance for this feature – should there be a researcher approval step before accessing aggregate summaries?

Researchers may filter dataset across multiple tables, run simple visualisations and get estimated record counts and entity counts. Filters are defined using a form of boolean logic – they are built up as multiple clauses in a query. Multiple ‘sub-cohorts’ can be defined, allowing comparison of different groups.

Estimated record counts support feasibility analysis. If the data owner has marked a field as representing an entity, then unique counts of entities are also provided as well as record counts. This allows the researcher to see the number of individual participants or patients, or the number of samples in a filtered dataset.

Researchers can visualise distributions of data. Categorical variables can be shown in a bar chart, continuous variables in a histogram. A box plot provides statistical properties of a variable, and can be split by categorical variables. Visualisations can be downloaded. We would like feedback on the access control and features around

A cohort definition can be saved for future use, and it can be used for a new data access request. We are working on having the selection delivered to a target workspace on approval. We are interested in feedback on how best to deliver sub-cohorts – as labels in the same table or as separate tables.

Please note there are some known limitations with the current release

• Cohort Builder visualisation and record counts depend on the existence of data and alignment between the data stored and the metadata (dictionaries).
• Data Access Requests can be initiation from a Cohort selection but the whole dataset will be transferred for now. If you want to test the selection delivery, please drop us a request at servicedesk@aridhia.com
• Sharing of cohorts is experimental – these should only be shared with data stewards. | FAIR-4924 | | Enhancement | Standardise naming of catalogue templates | We are rolling out a set of features to allow customers to define catalogues templates with domain-specific features that go beyond the core. This change tries to clarify the language used to describe these templates. The default catalogue template will now be known as the “standard” catalogue template in the system and documentation. (An older core template is now referred to as the “legacy”)

Customers can then extended the foundation provided by the standard catalogue to define their own template and apply that across all datasets. | FAIR-4922 | | BugFix | Bug: Improve handling of autocomplete when editing datasets | Password managers and browser autocomplete features are increasingly important and convenient for users. On some browsers, we have been able to fix an issue with the dataset editing form where browser autocomplete could cause an unwanted edit, replacing the dataset name when the author name was being edited. Due to some limitations in the underlying Chromium browser engine, this fix will not apply to Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. | FAIR-4701 | | Enhancement | History of dataset should include data access request events | Audit and activity logs provide data owners and other stakeholders with important information about the use of their metadata and data. This enhancement improves the way data access requests are linked to a dataset and presented in the dataset history. This allows a data owner to navigate directly to the detail of a request (and the requesting user) when it is logged. | FAIR-4634 | | Enhancement | Enable emails to be sent from data access request business processes | FAIR provides an extensible workflow engine for the business process used in handling data access requests. This enhancement improves the way emails are sent by the workflow engine. For example, in some of our integrations, this is important in case the user who requested the data needs to take a manual step. | FAIR-4062 | | BugFix | Better handling of session tokens when uploading resources or data | We fixed a bug where some users had difficulty uploading metadata, attachments or data because of session time outs. This might occur if there was a long period of inactivity but the browser window was left open, or if a data transfer was taking too long. If a session has expired before upload, or during the upload, the system will attempt to refresh the session and ensure upload can proceed. | FAIR-1513 |
