BioDT RO-Crate Metadata Profiles Documentation

RO-Crate profiles for linking the different types of digital objects that compose a digital twin, such as datasets, models and workflows

This section offers additional information and guidance for the different RO-Crate metadata profiles developed during the project:

Kernel Attributes cover all the general information that is common to any digital object. While they are described independently here, they don’t constitute a separate profile themselves, and instead are present in all of the other profiles.
Dataset is used to describe the data sources, either as discrete datasets or continuous data streams that keep being updated with newer data.
Model is a computational representation of a problem or a process that can be executed to simulate, solve, or analyse the behaviour of a system. Typically, they depend on one or multiple datasets for an accurate representation.
Workflow captures multi-step methods involving different tools to collect, process and analyse data, which typically result in a certain output.
Mapping Set represents a set of individual mappings between certain terms, typically describing the translation between two particular semantic artefacts.
