FAIRsharing record for: FAIR Metric - dataset - associated IVOA services are compliant with IVOA protocol specifications

This FAIRsharing record describes: 'FAIR Metric - dataset - associated IVOA services are compliant with IVOA protocol specifications' is a metric that ensures that IVOA services associated with a dataset are compliant with IVOA protocol specifications. When a dataset is related to an IVOA registry record, the level of FAIRness increases. However, the services declared by that dataset may not be fully compliant with protocol specifications. In this case, the FAIRness decreases. Each IVOA registry record is monitored using the voparis-validation-reports service, which queries daily all endpoints of all capabilities for every record of the IVOA registry. Depending on the score of the validation report, the associated pass/fail result of a Test implementing this Metric can be adjusted. In the worst-case scenario, the dataset declares a related IVOA registry record, with capabilities, but the server hosting the capabilities has been down for some time. In this case, the validation report will contain this information, and the FAIR test will return an appropriately lower result.
