Introduction

This tutorial assumes you have already completed An overview of the RO-Crate concept and its implementations:

Key Points

• RO-Crate provides a structure to make FAIR data packages

• Cross-references between entities create a graph

• The RO-Crate specification recommends which types and keys to use
