FAIRsharing record for: FAIR Metric – R1.1 – Metadata - discoverable data license in metadata

This FAIRsharing record describes: ### What is being measured?

This metric evaluates whether there is an explicit licence declaration present in the metadata retrieved upon resolution of the provided identifier.

### Why should we measure it?

R1.1 requires that metadata be released with a clear and accessible data usage licence. The purpose of this principle is to ensure that reuse conditions are explicitly stated at the level of the individual digital object. This metric evaluates whether there is an explicit licence declaration present in the metadata retrieved upon resolution of the provided identifier.

Under this interpretation, the evaluation checks whether the resolved metadata contains a licence statement or reference that clearly specifies usage conditions for the record or its associated research object. A resource satisfies this metric if the resolved metadata includes at least one explicit licence declaration.
