XML Format Overview

The Bio_Daer element has the following attributes:

Attribute Type Required? Values Description
action string Yes
  • CREATED
  • MODIFIED
  • CREATED_OR_MODIFIED
The type of action performed for the subprotocol.

CREATED requires that no object with this id already exists.

MODIFIED requires that an object with this id already exists or is defined earlier in the XML file being imported.

id string Yes A unique identifier for the subprotocol.
name string Yes The name of the subprotocol.
description string No A description of the subprotocol.
visible boolean Yes Not used.

Each Bio_ Daer element must have Contextual and Measured subelements that link to parameters, with the following requirements:

  • Contextual parameters must be defined before Measured parameters in the Bio_DAER element. If this order is not respected, import will fail.
  • Each Bio_DAER element requires at least one Measured parameter. If this is not respected, import will fail.

Contextual Subelement

This attaches a Bio_Parameter as a contextual parameter to this subprotocol.

These parameters describe the "experimental context" of the protocol during a measurement (such as temperature, pressure, or protein concentration). They can be considered as input parameters and allow you to filter Experiments according to their contextual parameters in the Discovery Decision Path.

The Contextual subelement has the following attributes:

Attribute Type Required? Values Description
relatedParameter string Yes The Id of the related Bio_Parameter.
visible boolean Yes

Measured Subelement

This attaches a Bio_Parameter as a measured parameter to this subprotocol.

These parameters describe what is measured during an experiment. These are considered as output parameters and their values can be used as conditions (thresholds) in Discovery Decision Path.

The Measured subelement has the following attributes:

Attribute Type Required? Values Description
relatedParameter string Yes The Id of the related Bio_Parameter.
visible boolean Yes
