I wrote on this topic a paper with Sorin Hermon, some time ago (2017) "Expressing Reliability with CIDOC CRM", IJDL, 18(4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00799-016-0195-1
It’s available from the IJDL, from the ACM DL, and from me as a self-stored paper. In short, it shows how to deal with trust in the Re-use framework of FAIR without using CRMinf. The necessary concepts are just subclasses and subproperties of existing ones. They receive special names just for the sake of clarity, but they could just be typized e.g. (Z denotes the new classes): Z1 Reliability Assessment = E16 Measurement + has type “reliability assessment" Z2 Reliability = E54 Dimension + has type “reliability" Sooner or later, I should re-examine the issue in light of the recent discussions. In my opinion, “trust" should be machine-actionable otherwise Re-use becomes a purely human activity, but an undoable one as we don’t have enough time to read everything and take the necessary decisions, discarding fake news, as Gardin stated 21 years ago (*). Trust is a chain and at some point one of the referees needs to be “a honourable man” (**), whose assessment is automatically applied to the data together, and if too low it automatically discredits the data and avoids re-use or warns against it. There are other divertissements of mine on the topic I’ll gladly share with those interested.
