Description

  • request made during the BH2022
  • using 'Measurement[]"
  • pattern could look like this:
Assay Name Measurement[plant height] Unit Measurement[mean leaf area] Unit Raw Data File

Measurement[] could be used in lieu of 'Raw Data File' but could also be used to provide a summary value over numerical values found in a data file.

Research direction

Review the Measurement[] examples in issue 473 alongside the current Assay Name representation. Clarify whether measurements replace or complement Raw Data File, how units are represented, and how summary values are handled. Done requires an agreed data representation and explicit acceptance criteria.
