The NFDI4DS FDO Manager represents one of the initial implementations of the FDO (FAIR digital object) in practice, which adheres to the FDO specifications while offering a robust minimum viable solution.

The manager ensures the necessary metadata and a persistent identifier accompany each artefact. To fully comply with the FDO specifications, the manager ensures that the metadata is temporarily stored in a dedicated registry, separate from the digital objects themselves. Furthermore, the FDO Manager will handle the recording and storage of FDO records in a distinct registry, which is a key requirement in the FDO specifications.
