This metric evaluates whether the metadata describing a Research Object contains a sufficient set of core descriptive elements that allow both humans and machines to discover, understand, and differentiate the data.
What is being measured?
The presence and completeness of core descriptive metadata elements that enable effective discovery, understanding, and differentiation of a digital object.
Why should we measure it? Rich and standardized metadata is essential for making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).
What must be provided for the measurement? The metadata description file (rocrate-metadata) associated with a Research Object.
What are considered valid results?
Valid results occur when the metadata contains a defined minimum set of core elements defined by a Research Object.
