GGBN Material Sample Vocabulary
These terms has been developed for specific GGBN purposes but can be used in other molecular context too. The material sample vocabulary terms are actually specific to basic lab facts about a physical DNA or tissue sample. The vocabulary is still under review. We appreciate any input or feedback. To do so please contact the GGBN secretariat at ggbn[at]si.edu.
Principal usage: The GGBN Material Sample Vocabulary is meant to be used with a 1:1 relation for 1 tissue, or DNA record. Within a Darwin Core-Archive implementation it has to be used with the new defined Material Sample Core (not Occurrence Core). Together with Darwin Core and GBIF team we decided to keep the Material Sample extension separate from the Material Sample Core. GGBN requirements and recommendations for usage and example content will follow soon.
This is a collection within the GGBN Data Standard. It contains the following concepts:
By label: Concentration (DNA) • DNA Melting Point • DNA-DNA Hybridization • High • Low • Material Sample Type • Medium • Method used for Determination of Concentration and Ratios of Absorbance (DNA) • Method used for Determination of Weight • Purification Method (DNA or Amplification) • Quality • Quality Check Date • Quality Remarks • Quality Vocabulary • Ratio of Absorbance 260/230 (DNA) • Ratio of Absorbance 260/280 (DNA) • Sample Designation • Unit of Concentration (DNA) • Unit of Volume • Unit of Weight • Volume • Weight • estimated Size • sample size
