Metadata schema for methods
This issue is for discussing how a metadata schema for methods could look like.
PANGAEA has a Method table with the properties
- Name: full official name of tool/instrument/device/gear
- Abbreviation: may be used for import in an event list to avoid misspellings
- URL: should contain a web address, where an official description of the device can be found
The URL could be a link to an entry on https://sensor.awi.de, which we are allowed to and encouraged to use.
We should also discuss whether code (see #4) can be a method or not.
