OM2 Metric: Ontology declares recommended metadata

This metric evaluates whether the ontology includes a set of additional recommended metadata fields that enhance its usability and documentation quality.

What is being measured?

The presence of the following recommended metadata fields:

  • Namespace Prefix
  • Version Info
  • Creation Date
  • Citation
  • Contributor (optional)

Why should we measure it?

Recommended metadata ensures richer documentation and better support for reusability, traceability, and credit attribution in line with FAIR principles.

What must be provided for the measurement?

An ontology URI or file.

What are considered valid results?

The ontology should include all recommended fields except the contributor field, which is optional.
