Result Type Vocabulary

A vocabulary for describing the type of the Result. In ODM2 Results are separated from, but related to their data values. Each ResultType has a set of related tables for storing the data values for any result of that type.

Term Name Definition
categoryObservation Category observation A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method.
countObservation Count observation A single ResultValue for a single Variable, counted on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, and having a specific ProcessingLevel.
measurement Measurement A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, and having a specific ProcessingLevel.
pointCoverage Point coverage A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, with a fixed ValueDateTime, but measured over varying X,Y locations, where X and Y are horizontal coordinates.
profileCoverage Profile coverage A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over multiple locations along a depth profile with only one varying location dimension (e.g., Z, where Z is depth). ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled.
sectionCoverage Section coverage A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over varying X (horizontal) and Z (depth) coordinates. ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled.
spectraCoverage Spectra coverage A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over multiple wavelengths of light. ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled.
temporalObservation Temporal observation A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, and having a specific ProcessingLevel.
timeSeriesCoverage Time series coverage A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature of fixed location, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over time.
trajectoryCoverage Trajectory coverage A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over varying X,Y, Z, and D locations, where X and Y are horizontal coordinates, Z is a vertical coordinate, and D is the distance along the trajectory. ValueDateTime may be fixed (DTS Temperature) or controlled (glider).
transectCoverage Transect coverage A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over multiple locations along a transect having varying location dimensions (e.g., X and/or Y, where X and Y are horizontal coordintes). ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled.
truthObservation Truth observation A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method.
