BP-Rec. 10: Define a set of governance policies for the semantic artefacts

Description

Semantic artefacts are living entities that are undergoing changes through their lifecycle. As an example, when used these artefacts are becoming part of a data service and therefore changes and updates should be published to warn users that the data service should be updated. It is therefore crucial to have well identified governance policies for the semantic artefact. These policies should be available in human readable format but also whenever possible in machine actionable format to allow the automation of change propagation. They should cover the various aspects of the semantic artefact life cycle i.e. versioning policy, deprecation policy, contribution policy.

Existing recommendations : N/A

Stakeholder : Practitioner and Repository

We have a clear governance process but it is not machine readable.

A way of looking at this is that all explicit semantics are based on identifiers, and identifiers are generated as the result of a "registration process" - and ISO 19135 (for example) can be used to define the governance roles for such processes. So a canonical governance model can be at least partially expressed in a FAIR way.
