F2. Machine-readability of metadata

metric

The availability of machine-readable metadata that describes a digital resource.

Principle: F

Rationale: Why should we measure it? This metric does not attempt to measure (or even define) "Richness" - this will be defined in a future Metric. This metric is intended to test the format of the metadata - machine readability of metadata makes it possible to optimize discovery. For instance, Web search engines suggest the use of particular structured metadata elements to optimize search. Thus, the machine-readability aspect can help people and machines find a digital resource of interest.

FAIR Metrics: F2. Data are described with rich metadata
