At its core, the novel "FAIR levels" framework, rooted in the developed ontology, categorizes software based on user accessibility. Shareable runtime environments and readily executable examples democratize access, empowering both experts and novices to collaborate and innovate. Users can confidently find software that is perfectly tailored to their unique needs and abilities. The platform's intrinsic value lies in meticulous curation, ready-to-run examples and semantic resources, spurring exploration and creativity.
