The method tabel contains any definitions of analytical equipment, tools, or publications describing a specific method.
Methods are a wide range of items and thus are hard to structurize. When defining a new method, the general term should come first, followed by a specification. If a specific method is defined, a link to a descriptive page or handle linking to a pdf is recommended. Versions of a method mostly contain one generic definition.
- Example: a search for Magnetometer will show one generic tool (ID=225) and various more specific tools. Some are linked to its description.
- Example for a method linked to its external description page: http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.775798.
- Example for a method (Dissolved fluoride, colorimetric (Greenhalgh & Riley, 1961)) linked to its publication via DOI: http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.774780
- In the same dataset the method ODP sample designation is linked to a document archived in ePIC.
To find a specific method, a retrieval with 'method contains ...' may help.
To define a new method, open the method table, click on <new> and fill out the fields:
- Name - full name of the method, should be haeded by the general term
- Reference - is relational to the reference table in which the reference, describing the method, is defined.
- URL - Link to a descriptive web page or a document. A link via a handle to the document archived in ePIC is recommended.
- Comment - the content of this field is not shown in the official data description; its for internal information only.
