The UK Physical Sciences Data-science Service (PSDS) recently came into being as the successor to the UK National Chemical Database Service (NCDS). The NCDS acted as a portal to a range of, mainly proprietary, databases that had their access secured at a national scale – the primary reason for the NCDS was therefore to provide access to expensive databases that otherwise were unaffordable at the individual or institutional scale. The PSDS has now assumed this role and in the summer of 2019 a new portal to these databases was developed. The PSDS was however also funded to be more ambitious regarding access to chemical (and related sciences) data and the FAIR principles are at its core.<br/><br/>The mission of the PSDS is to be a driving force and enabler for data-driven physical sciences research. Over the coming years the PSDS aims tobecome an aggregator of chemical data – as opposed to providing access to individual databases. In this talk we discuss our plans to create a FAIRer platform containing both open and proprietary data. Making data more Findable, searchable and Accessible through new interfaces, improvingInteroperability through data structure and indexes, and supporting and driving Reusability by allowing users to output an aggregated dataset with associated provenance information. As part of the PSDS service, we will also produce a FAIR data resources catalogue. Underpinning this will be a taxonomy to enable machine understanding, grouping and accessing of physical sciences data resources in different ways.
