Abstract: Documented workflows are an important aspect of CDS operations, and are the basis for the CoreTrustSeal certification of the VizieR catalogue service (Ochsenbein et al. 2000). The worklflow processes include metadata assignment in conformance with the standards and the needs of the astronomy research community. Among the standards, the Virtual Observatory promotes data models and access protocols to provide reusable data. In parallel, other standards and concepts are emerging with the rise of Open Data, for example the widespread use of DOIs. The FAIR principles and the increasing importance of open data for science, overlap and complete the IVOA capabilities. While IVOA standards enable a very high level of interoperability allowing data mining, workflows and software usage, the DOI enables the connection to a network of reference resources that is well adapted for citation. We will describe FAIR workflows developed in the VizieR catalogue service of the CDS and present how the data benefit from IVOA standards and DOIs.
