Comments

  • Activities relevant to scientific knowledge generation including things like designing and performing experiments, data analysis and transfomration, publishing research results, data curation and interpretation, observations of the natural world, and assessment and treatment of patients in clinical settings. These activities produce information that gets encoded in sharable artifacts used to generate scientific knowledge. Agents can play different types of roles in the generation and use of such artifacts.

      entities and share content across systems.

    comments:
    - Record-level metadata applies to a specific concrete encoding/serialization
      of information (e.g as a record in a specific knowlegebase, or an online digital
      resource). A RecordMetadata object can capture when, how, and by whom a specific
      record was generated or modified; what upstream resources it was derived/retrieved
      from; and record-level administrative information such as versioning and system
      / lifecycle status.
