Towards FAIR Declarative Mappings: Evaluating MetaSEMAP's Usability in Lifecycle Documentation and Metadata Annotation
Keywords: FAIR principles, Metadata annotation, Mapping lifecycle, RDF-sta, Named Graph
Abstract: Achieving FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for declarative mapping projects requires robust documentation and metadata annotation throughout their lifecycle. This paper presents a usability evaluation of MetaSEMAP, a tool designed to facilitate the annotation of mappings and enhance the reusability of declarative mappings: uplift mappings, ontology alignment, and interlinking. The evaluation explores the tool’s ability to annotate mapping projects with metadata drawn from real-world scenarios like the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland. Participants provided feedback on the tool's usability and preferred metadata representation, including RDF-star and Named Graph. The results highlight key strengths and areas for improvement for MetaSEMAP, contributing valuable insights to the development of more effective tools for metadata annotation. This work lays the groundwork for future enhancements in mapping lifecycle documentation, aiming for interoperability and sustainability aligned with FAIR principles.
