Enhancing the Core Scientific Metadata Model to incorporate derived data

Journal article

Much of the value in scientific data is provided not only in the raw data but through the analysis of that data to derive published results. A study of the data analysis process for structural science has shown that various data sets derived from the raw data are of use to scientists and should be stored with the raw data. The Core Scientific MetaData model (CSMD) is used by a number of large scientific facilities to catalogue scientific data. The current version provides support to experimen...
