odML - Terminologies

How to use:

The terminologies (see below) generally define the names of properties. In some cases we also define "values". This is mainly the case if the occurence of a certain property value requires more properties for further specification. One example for this would be the switching frequency on an amplifier used in an electrophysiological experiment. This property is only meaningful if the amplifier was used in in a discontinuous operation mode.

• Please understand these names as suggestions!
• Thus, if you find a property definition fitting your needs please use it.
• Otherwise simply create your own properties.
• These may not be recognized by other tools but your metadatum is stored!
• If you further find that the just created property is of general interest please provide a definition and do not hesitate to send it to us. We would be happy to include it.

So far defined terminologies

The following Terminologies contain definitions according to the seciton name. If you specify e.g. the sample rate of an analog input device include it contained within the respective section into your odML - file.
