A1.1: The protocol is open, free and universally implementable
open -- free as in speech, free -- free as in beer, and universally implementable -- NOT free as in puppies.
A1: (Meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communication protocol
So, you've identified a digital resource. Now it's time to retrieve it and/or its metadata record. TL;DR - Use HTTP(S) if possible.

F2: Data are described with rich metadata
"intrinsic" vs "extrinsic" metadata. Other-than-technical interoperability. Qualification vs. "Quality". Feature detection. Search-engine "rich results".
F1: (Meta)data have globally unique, persistent identifiers
Today, we'll be talking about the first of the FAIR principles, F1: Metadata are assigned globally unique and persistent identifiers.
