FAIROS-metric-F4-01
Metadata is offered in such a way that it can be retrieved by machines.
What is being measured?
Whether the metadata can be automatically retrieved and interpreted by machines using standard protocols and formats.
Why should we measure it?
When metadata is accessible in a machine-readable format—such as via content negotiation, APIs, or standard serialization (e.g., RDF, JSON-LD)—systems can automatically process it without human intervention. This facilitates data indexing, linking, and integration across platforms.
What must be provided for the measurement?
The metadata endpoint.
What are considered valid results?
Valid results occur when the metadata can be automatically retrieved.
