Metadata includes the identifier of the data it describes.
What is being measured?
Whether the metadata record includes the identifier (e.g., a URI, DOI, or other persistent ID) of the data resource it describes.
Why should we measure it?
Including the data identifier in the metadata is essential for maintaining a clear and unambiguous link between metadata and the data it describes. This allows both humans and machines to access to the corresponding data object.
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 explicitly includes a reference to the data’s identifier, such as a DOI, URI, or other globally unique identifier.
