FIT – Metrics for LOD KOS (as value vocabularies)_

FunctionalImpactfulTransformable
[The vocabulary is...][The vocabulary...][The vocabulary...]
Made available in ways that enhance its inherent purposeMaximizes the impact of a LOD KOS vocabularyExtends the functionality and impact through innovative adaptations
Metrics:Metrics:Metrics:
  • F1

    The vocabulary is delivered in consumable formats

  • F2

    Provided SPARQL endpoints are operational

  • F3

    Dataset properties and structures are informed effectively

  • F4

    Services are user-friendly, making vocabulary contents reachable

  • I1

    Exposed through terminology services

  • I2

    Used by data providers

    • a)

      as a primary value vocabulary

    • b)

      in semantic enrichment

  • I3

    Mapped with other KOS vocabularies

  • I4

    Showed/discussed at professional conferences and publications

  • T1.

    Allows special KOS products to be derived from the original data

  • T2.

    The user is given autonomy to determine what structure and information is desired and can be reproduced from the vocabulary

  • T3.

    Enables extensibility to fit diverse needs

  • T4.

    Supports innovative and transformative uses beyond normal “value vocabularies”
