 The use of shared, community-endorsed semantic artifacts for metadata annotation is key to ensuring unambiguous and standardized descriptions of data. This not only supports the alignment and integration of heterogeneous datasets but also enhances data discovery and reuse. Crucially, such practices form the foundation for machine-readability of metadata, which is essential for achieving semantic interoperability.
-Within the Helmholtz research field Earth and Environment, there is a growing need for consistent approaches to metadata annotation that ensure semantic interoperability. This recommendation aims to address this need by guiding the selection and prioritization of controlled vocabularies and by supporting the optimization of metadata annotation workflows.

 =====Recommendation summary ====
-Researchers, data infrastructures and data hosts should ensure the annotation of the vast majority of metadata with controlled vocabulary from established and, where appropriate, FAIR-compliant semantic artifacts (e.g., lists, thesauruses, taxonomies, standardized terminologies, or, ideally, ontologies) to promote semantic consistency, clarity, and interoperability. Data platforms such as data portals or knowledge graphs should incorporate the controlled vocabulary into their tools and reuse them for standardized representation and improved searches.
