previously named Data Maturity Indicator (until 2020-07-16), previously named Generic Quality Indicator(until 2020-04-23)
The Maturity Indicator is a draft extension to the DataCite Metadata Schema. The Maturity Indicator would allow to place the results of data maturity checks in the DataCite Metadata in a standardised format. Currently (DataCite Metadata Schema v4.3), such information can only be provided via relatedIdentifier.
This concept only provides metadata fields to insert maturity information. No maturity matrix/metric/measure is suggested. Thus, this concept is open to any kind of maturity measure. Please also have a look at https://www.atmodat.de/f-output/f-mi.
The draft containing the definition of metadata properties and sub-properties is provided in the formalization_MI.csv file.
Also three example cases are provided -- each as xml and as json file. The files are:
example_MI_*.xmlexample_MI_*.json(Schema.org JSON-LD)
The examples are:
