OpenAIRE OSTrails Tests

OpenAIRE Test v4 F1 – (Meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier. Metadata

F1 – (Meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier. Evidenced by: Resource Identifier (datacite:identifier with a persistent identifier type such as DOI, Handle, ARK, PURL, URL, or URN). A missing or malformed identifier means the resource cannot be reliably located or cited.

OpenAIRE Test v4 F2 – (Meta)data are described with rich metadata so they can be found by relevant attributes. Metadata

F2 – (Meta)data are described with rich metadata so they can be found by relevant attributes. Evidenced by 9 checks: Title (human-readable name), Creator (authorship), Publisher (responsible organisation), Publication Date (temporal context), Resource Type (nature of the resource using COAR vocabulary), Subject (keywords or classification codes), Description (abstract), Language (content language), Format (MIME type). Mandatory checks (Title, Creator, Publication Date, Resource Type) must pass for F2 to succeed; recommended checks contribute to the score but do not cause failure if absent.

OpenAIRE Test v4 F3 – Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it describes. Metadata

F3 – Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data it describes. Evidenced by: Resource Identifier (datacite:identifier). The identifier must be embedded in the metadata record itself, not just resolvable externally, so that the link between metadata and data object is unambiguous.

OpenAIRE Test v4 A1.1 – The protocol used to access the data is open, free, and universally implementable. Metadata

A1.1 – The protocol used to access the data is open, free, and universally implementable. Evidenced at schema level: compliance with the OAI-PMH protocol (XML) or a publicly documented REST API (Crossref, DataCite) is assumed when a valid record is submitted. This principle always passes; it is not assessed through individual metadata field checks.

Copied!

OpenAIRE Test v4 A1.2 – The protocol allows for an authentication and authorisation procedure where necessary. Metadata

A1.2 – The protocol allows for an authentication and authorisation procedure where necessary. Evidenced by: Access Rights (datacite:rights with a COAR access right URI and label, e.g. open access, embargoed access, restricted access), and License Condition (oaire:licenseCondition with a license URI and start date). These fields declare under what conditions the resource can be accessed and reused.

OpenAIRE Test v4 I1 – (Meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. Metadata

I1 – (Meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. Evidenced at schema level: the record conforms to the OpenAIRE Guidelines schema (DataCite metadata kernel + OAIRE extensions) or an equivalent published standard (DataCite XML, Crossref JSON, DCAT-AP). This principle always passes; it is not assessed through individual field checks.

Copied!

OpenAIRE Test v4 I2 – (Meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles. Metadata

I2 – (Meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles. Evidenced by 4 checks: Resource Type (COAR resource type concept URI, a FAIR-compliant vocabulary), Access Rights (COAR access right URI), Creator (datacite:nameIdentifier with a persistent author identifier such as ORCID — use of a FAIR-compliant person identifier vocabulary), Funding Reference (oaire:funderIdentifier with funderIdentifierType such as Crossref Funder ID or ISNI).

Copied!

OpenAIRE Test v4 I3 – (Meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data. Metadata

I3 – (Meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data. Evidenced by: Related Identifier (datacite:relatedIdentifier with relatedIdentifierType and relationType).

This check is mandatory if applicable — it passes without penalty when no related resources exist.

Copied!

OpenAIRE Test v4 R1 – (Meta)data are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes. Metadata

R1 – (Meta)data are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes. Evidenced by 4 checks: Description (abstract or summary providing context for reuse), Subject (keywords or classification codes enabling thematic discovery), Resource Type (precise COAR type enabling format-aware reuse), Funding Reference (grant information enabling reproducibility and provenance tracking). Resource Type is mandatory; Description, Subject, and Funding Reference are recommended.

Copied!

OpenAIRE Test v4 R1.1 – (Meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license. Metadata

R1.1 – (Meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license. Evidenced by 2 checks: Access Rights (COAR-coded statement of who can access the resource), License Condition (explicit license URI, e.g. Creative Commons, with a start date). Without these, downstream users cannot determine whether and how they may legally reuse the resource.

Copied!

R1.2 – (Meta)data are associated with detailed provenance. Evidenced by 2 checks: Funding Reference (grant and funder information enabling traceability of the research that produced the resource), Related Identifier (links to source data, prior versions, or companion publications that establish the scholarly lineage of the work). Both checks are recommended or mandatory-if-applicable; R1.2 status is always SUCCESS.
