OM4.2 metric: Ontology license is resolvable

This metric ensures that the license associated with an ontology is accessible via a resolvable URL, allowing users to easily verify the terms of use.

What is being measured?

The accessibility of the license through a resolvable URL.

Why should we measure it?

Resolvable licenses ensure transparency and trust in the use of the ontology, aligning with FAIR principles by clearly defining usage rights.

What must be provided for the measurement?

An ontology URI or file.

What are considered valid results?

The license must have a functional URL that leads to a license document (e.g., Creative Commons, MIT License, etc.).
