This metric ensures that the vocabularies used in metadata or data themselves adhere to the FAIR principles, promoting interoperability, transparency, and reuse.
What is being measured?
Whether the vocabularies or ontologies referenced in the Research Object (meta)data follow FAIR principles.
Why should we measure it?
Using FAIR-compliant vocabularies ensures that terms and classifications used in metadata and data can be understood, retrieved, and reused by machines and humans.
What must be provided for the measurement?
A metadata or data record that references external vocabularies or ontologies.
What are considered valid results?
The vocabularies or ontologies referenced follow the FAIR principles (e.g, persistent identifiers published with resolvable identifiers, license and provenance information included, etc.)
