What does an 'Active' status in the Ontology indicate?

An 'Active' status in the Ontology signifies that the resource is actively in use within user-facing applications. This indicates that the resource is not just developed but is fully operational and integrated into systems where users interact with it. An active status implies that it plays a critical role in current processes, functionalities, or services provided to users.

This usage context is important because it establishes the resource as vital to ongoing operations, ensuring that any dependencies on it remain intact for seamless user experiences. Resources marked as active typically require monitoring and maintenance because they can directly impact the applications that rely on them.

In contrast, a resource that is under development would not yet be available for user interactions, while those that are no longer in use or can be deleted suggest a diminished relevance or function, rather than active deployment.
