AgentFAIR: A Multi-Agent Collaborative Framework for FAIRness Evaluation of Geospatial Datasets

A new multi-agent framework called AgentFAIR, designed to evaluate FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) compliance of geospatial datasets, achieves mean scores of 79.7% for Findability, 70.4% for Accessibility, 45.3% for Interoperability, and 72.0% for Reusability across 50 datasets from 10 repositories, according to a preprint on arXiv (2607.15781v1). The framework combines structured metadata extraction with 13 sub-principle-specific LLM evaluators and a critic agent, achieving 89% sub-principle agreement on repeated runs versus 71% without the critic, with an API cost of approximately USD 0.054 per dataset.

arXiv:2607.15781v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geospatial datasets support applications from urban planning to climate modeling, yet consistent assessment of FAIR compliance is difficult. Existing evaluators use different rubrics and evidence sources and may fail on JavaScript-rendered pages or repository-specific identifiers. For 50 datasets from 10 repositories, the standard deviation of normalized scores across available tools averages 15.0 percentage points and reaches 30.3 for one dataset. Because these outputs are not equivalent measurements, we use them to characterize disagreement and failure modes, not comparative accuracy. We present AgentFAIR, a multi-agent framework combining structured metadata extraction with 13 sub-principle-specific LLM evaluators. Each produces a 0-3 maturity score, cited evidence, and recommendations; a critic checks evidence and consistency and can request targeted re-evaluation. Mean Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability scores are 79.7%, 70.4%, 45.3%, and 72.0%. Rank correlations with four baseline tools range from 0.31 to 0.61; the FAIR-enough comparison is not statistically significant. On a 10-dataset repeated-run subset, sub-principle agreement averages 89% (standard deviation: 3 percentage points), versus 71% without the critic. A preliminary 15-dataset expert study yields Fleiss' kappa of 0.71 and 82% alignment with expert consensus. API cost is approximately USD 0.054 per dataset. These results support auditability and feasibility, while the limited benchmark, incomplete ablations, and single-model-family validation constrain claims about accuracy and generalization.
