 =====Motivation for this Recommendation =====
 The use of shared, community-endorsed vocabularies 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.
-The basis for a comprehensive metadata annotation is the is that data is provided with sufficient and structured metadata and that there is agreement about which metadata is considered essential in communities. Standardized metadata categories and structures enable machines to interpret and connect data across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.
 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 that need by guiding the selection and prioritization of controlled vocabularies and by supporting the optimization of metadata annotation workflows.

 =====Recommendation summary ====
 Data infrastructures and data hosts—such as data repositories, sensor registries, electronic lab notebooks, or other platforms that store and make data available—should ensure the annotation of the vast majority of metadata using standardized terms from established and, where appropriate, FAIR-compliant controlled vocabularies (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 these terms into their tools and reuse them for standardized representation and improved search.

 =====Precondition for Implementation =====
-The basis for a comprehensive metadata annotation is the is that data is provided with sufficient and structured metadata and that there is agreement about which metadata is considered essential in communities. Metadata annotation with semantic ressources is only effective if there is consensus within a research community about which controlled vocabularies or other semantic resources best meet the community's needs, and if these resources have clear governance, provenance, and documentation. Furthermore, they should be available and maintained over the long term (at least 5 years) and cover the vast majority of requirements.
