Editorial commentary

Argos emphasises machine-actionability: templates are decomposed into typed questions, datasets are first-class entities with persistent identifiers, and exports natively conform to RDA DMP CS JSON. It interoperates with Zenodo, OpenAIRE EXPLORE, and the OpenAIRE Research Graph for evidence of outputs against planned commitments.
