I think "open" is fine for validation.  That gives leeway to usecases that
aren't just general findability, and maybe helps consensus on new
properties to emerge.

For me, the important thing is that the generation process is people coming
together within Bioschemas.  I think it would be great if the actual
mapping data itself is hosted by OLS/Bioportal.  My concern is that mapping
algorithms aren't currently good enough simply to let the machines work it
out (love to be proved wrong), and that needing automated mapping raises
the complexity/cost of creating applications.
