OM5.1 metric: Ontology declares basic provenance metadata

This metric checks for the inclusion of essential provenance metadata, ensuring that the origin and authorship of the ontology are clear and traceable.

What is being measured?

The presence of basic provenance metadata, specifically:

  • Mandatory: Author and creation date.
  • Optional: Contributor and previous version metadata elements.

Why should we measure it?

Provenance metadata is crucial for understanding the source and authorship of an ontology, supporting reusability and trust.

What must be provided for the measurement?

An ontology URI or file.

What are considered valid results?

Ontologies that explicitly state an author and a creation date satisfy the metric. Ontologies are encouraged, but not required, to include information on contributors and previous versions.
