 ## Overview
 
-F-UJI is a web service to programatically assess FAIRness of research data objects based on [metrics](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3775793) developed by the [FAIRsFAIR](https://www.fairsfair.eu/) project. 
-The service will be applied to demostrate the evaluation of objects in repositories selected for in-depth collaboration with the project.

 The '__F__' stands for FAIR (of course) and '__UJI__' means 'Test' in Malay. So __F-UJI__ is a FAIR testing tool.

 ## Assessment Scope, Constraint and Limitation
-The service is **in development** and its assessment depends on several factors. 
-- In the FAIR ecosystem, FAIR assessment must go beyond the object itself. FAIR enabling services and repositories are vital to ensure that research data objects remain FAIR over time. Importantly, machine-readable services (e.g., registries) and documents (e.g., policies) are required to enable automated tests. 
-- In addition to repository and services requirements, automated testing depends on clear machine assessable criteria. Some aspects (rich, plurality, accurate, relevant) specified in FAIR principles still require human mediation and interpretation.

+- In the FAIR ecosystem, FAIR assessment must go beyond the object itself. FAIR enabling services and repositories are vital to ensure that research data objects remain FAIR over time. Importantly, machine-readable services (e.g., registries) and documents (e.g., policies) are required to enable automated tests.
+- In addition to repository and services requirements, automated testing depends on clear machine assessable criteria. Some aspects (rich, plurality, accurate, relevant) specified in FAIR principles still require human mediation and interpretation.
 - The tests must focus on generally applicable data/metadata characteristics until domain/community-driven criteria have been agreed (e.g., appropriate schemas and required elements for usage/access control, etc.). For example, for some of the metrics (i.e., on I and R principles), the automated tests we proposed only inspect the ‘surface’ of criteria to be evaluated. Therefore, tests are designed in consideration of generic cross-domain metadata standards such as dublin core, dcat, datacite, schema.org, etc.
 - FAIR assessment is performed based on aggregated metadata; this includes metadata embedded in the data (landing) page, metadata retrieved from a PID provider (e.g., Datacite content negotiation) and other services (e.g., re3data).

 ## Requirements
-Python 3.8+
-
-### 308 redirects
-In order to deal with 308 redirects, the following patch has to be applied on urrlib:
-https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/19588/commits
+[Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) `3.11+`
 
 ### Google Dataset Search
 * Download the latest Dataset Search corpus file from: https://www.kaggle.com/googleai/dataset-search-metadata-for-datasets
 * Open file fuji_server/helper/create_google_cache_db.py and set variable 'google_file_location' according to the file location of the corpus file
 * Run create_google_cache_db.py which creates a SQLite database in the data directory. From root directory run `python3 -m fuji_server.helper.create_google_cache_db`.
 
 The service was generated by the [swagger-codegen](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen) project. By using the
-[OpenAPI-Spec](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/wiki) from a remote server, you can easily generate a server stub.
