High‐quality microbiome research relies on the integrity, management and quality of supporting data. Currently biobanks and culture collections have different formats and approaches to data management. This necessitates a standard data format to underpin research, particularly in line with the FAIR data standards of findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability. We address the importance of a unified, coordinated approach that ensures compatibility of data between that needed by biobanks and culture collections, but also to ensure linkage between bioinformatic databases and the wider research community.

建立统一的数据基础架构以支持欧洲和全球微生物组研究：行动呼吁

高质量的微生物组研究依赖于支持数据的完整性，管理和质量。当前，生物库和文化馆藏具有不同的数据管理格式和方法。这就需要一种标准的数据格式来支持研究，特别是要符合FAIR数据标准的可发现性，可访问性，互操作性和可重用性。我们强调采用统一，协调的方法的重要性，这种方法既可以确保生物库和培养物所需的数据之间的兼容性，又可以确保生物信息数据库与更广泛的研究界之间的联系。
