A Schema.org-based specification for a File in materials science and engineering. It is expected that there is only one instance of distribution. This schema is useful for uniquely describing each file that can result from a material measurement and enumerating them within hasPart of a Dataset.
| Property | Expected Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Properties from File | ||
| parameterControlled | PropertyValue or DefinedTerm |
The parameterControlled property can indicate one or more variables that are controlled in the activity associated with the File, described using DefinedTerm or as PropertyValue consisting of identifier, value, and unit. |
| Properties from Dataset | ||
| distribution | One of: DataDownload | A single downloadable file, at a specific location, in a specific DataFormat. |
| includedInDataCatalog | DataCatalog | A data catalog which contains this dataset. |
| isBasedOn | Dataset or File or MaterialProperty or TabularDataPackage or URL |
A resource from which this work is derived or from which it is a modification or adaption. This can be used to establish provenance for derived data. This can be used to establish relationships between resources. |
| isPartOf | Dataset or File or MaterialProperty or TabularDataPackage |
Indicates an resource that this resource (in some sense), is part of. A dataset is often a logical grouping of files, material properties, tabular data packages, or other datasets. |
| material | Material | Indicates the real or simulated material that this resource describes. Examples: When used in Dataset, the Dataset may result from the characterization of this material. When used in ProcessHistory, this is the resulting material created by the process. |
| materialExtent | QuantitativeValue | The quantity of the materials being described. |
| measurementTechnique | DefinedTerm or Instrument or SoftwareApplication or SoftwareSourceCode |
Indicates the simulation or measurement technique used in this File. A type of measurement or simulation could be described with a DefinedTerm and the specific tool can be specified with Instrument, SoftwareApplication, or SoftwareSourceCode. |
| variableMeasured | PropertyValue or DefinedTerm |
The variableMeasured property can indicate one or more variables that are measured and reported in the File, described using DefinedTerm or as PropertyValue consisting of identifier, value, and unit. |
