Certification authorities for verification of the trustworthiness of digital repositories exist for data repositories, and it is likely that similar infrastructure will develop for certification of FAIRness of repositories, and for TRUST in respect of Semantic Artefacts.
TRUST deals with repository governance, policies, sustainability, expertise, quality assurance, and reliability of infrastructure. Development of criteria for such repositories is a community responsibility, and the criteria can be based on those developed for data repositories.
Committing semantic artefacts to code repositories such as github or gitlab is not recommended as a long-term preservation strategy. In the short term, in the absence of a semantic artefact repository infrastructure, these platforms will be adequate, provided that they are referenced through a GUPRI as per P-Rec 1. Any changes in location of the stored artefacts should be handled by the GUPRI resolution.
