What it is¶
A set of principles for making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable by machines as well as people. Machine-actionability is the founding motivation.
Role in the record¶
- Grounds BP02: machine-actionability as the general goal behind default agent-accessibility. The Accessible principle permits authentication, so "accessible" never meant "open without limit".
- Grounds BP05: documentation and metadata as an interface machines operate from.
