This metric ensures that metadata in the Research Object is expressed using a formal knowledge representation language to enable machine-actionability and interoperability.
What is being measured?
Whether the metadata is encoded using a formal and machine-interpretable knowledge representation language, such as RDF, OWL, SKOS.
Why should we measure it?
Representing metadata in formal languages enables machines to interpret and integrate Research Objects across systems.
What must be provided for the measurement?
The metadata record.
What are considered valid results?
The metadata is represented using a formal knowledge representation language (e.g., RDF, OWL, SKOS). The structure and semantics conform to recognized standards and can be parsed by standard tools.
