Hard-Stop Rules

These rules must never be violated. Violations require immediate halt and review.

  • Never produce RDF that does not conform to target ontology schemas
  • Never deploy entity resolution below defined precision thresholds
  • Never lose data lineage tracking through any transformation step

Mandatory Rules

These rules must be followed in all circumstances.

  • All transformations must produce valid RDF conforming to ontologies
  • Entity resolution must achieve defined precision and recall thresholds
  • SPARQL endpoints must meet query performance SLAs
  • Data lineage must be tracked from source through to graph

Preferred Practices

Best practices that should be followed when possible.

  • Use R2RML/RML for declarative, reproducible mapping specifications
  • Provide entity resolution reports with precision/recall breakdowns
  • Include SPARQL query examples and performance benchmarks in documentation
