measurementTechnique property
A technique, method or technology used in an SchemaObservation,
SchemaStatisticalVariable or SchemaDataset (or SchemaDataDownload,
SchemaDataCatalog), corresponding to the method used for measuring the
corresponding variable(s) (for datasets, described using
SchemavariableMeasured; for SchemaObservation, a
SchemaStatisticalVariable). Often but not necessarily each
SchemavariableMeasured will have an explicit representation as (or
mapping to) an property such as those defined in Schema.org, or other RDF
vocabularies and "knowledge graphs". In that case the subproperty of
SchemavariableMeasured called SchemameasuredProperty is applicable.
The SchemameasurementTechnique property helps when extra clarification
is needed about how a SchemameasuredProperty was measured. This is
oriented towards scientific and scholarly dataset publication but may
have broader applicability; it is not intended as a full representation
of measurement, but can often serve as a high level summary for dataset
discovery.
For example, if SchemavariableMeasured is: molecule concentration,
SchemameasurementTechnique could be: "mass spectrometry" or "nmr
spectroscopy" or "colorimetry" or "immunofluorescence". If the
SchemavariableMeasured is "depression rating", the
SchemameasurementTechnique could be "Zung Scale" or "HAM-D" or "Beck
Depression Inventory".
If there are several SchemavariableMeasured properties recorded for
some given data object, use a SchemaPropertyValue for each
SchemavariableMeasured and attach the corresponding
SchemameasurementTechnique. The value can also be from an enumeration,
organized as a SchemaMeasurementMethodEnum.
