# FAIRisk | Improving risk estimation with open resources
FAIRisk combines open-source globally available data related with risk scales and country preparedness for epidemic
crisis with post-COVID-19 data. It aims to facilitate the creation of preventive insights at country-level and the
suggestion of improvements to current risk modelling strategies, and assist the work of the scientific community and
decision-makers dealing with COVID-19 (or related) crisis.
This repository addresses data interoperability challenges of fetching and combining several openly available sources
of multimodal data, so these can be coherently used from a centralized data model. This model was designed bearing
FAIR principles and EU's open data guidelines in mind to promote an adequate, well-documented and simplified use of
the combined data.
### Approach
A semantic data model was defined, following the analysis of several relevant sources, in order to typify and indentify
the most relevant concepts, while attempting to maximize its generalization. Data from 6 different sources was
organized and merged in a single data model, where each country entity is represented by up to 6 categories:
- Demographics: population by age group.
- Indicators: raw indicators' data measured for each country.
- Scores: indexes, scales, or scores that assist the comparison of qualitative or estimated parameters across
countries.
- Mortality: count of deaths by age group.
- COVID-19: number of cases, deaths, tests, ICU patients, hospitalizations, vaccinations, and stringency index due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Mobility: statistics of citizens movement estimations.
