Short Answer
Data are considered as "FAIR" when they comply to the rather general recommendations that all research objects have to fulfil and which were summarized under four major principles: Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Re-Usability.

They provide not particular properties, formats or standards that scientific data has to meet, but rather a set of quite general recommendations that all research objects have to fulfill and which were summarized under the four major principles Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Re-Usability.
Due to the daily increasing amount of high-voluminous and heterogenous heterogeneous research data the major goal of the FAIR data principles is to lower the barriers and efforts for humans as well as machines to efficiently discover and reuse research data. This is not only important for the research community who is interested in analyzing the data to discover new scientific findings, but also for funding agencies, who provide the budget for producing the data, and other interested stakeholders.
All datasets, which are provided via the GFBio portal strive to comply with the FAIR principles. However, evaluation of the "FAIRness" of a data set dataset is currently difficult. One promising solution are maybe the lately published FAIR maturity indicators (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2018.118), which provide a suitable approach to measure the FAIRness of datasets and research infrastructures.
