schema definition common Property
Tuesday, November 28, 2017 2:37 PMDescription
A property is a single measured or observed characteristic or response of a system. Exactly one of scalars, vectors, matrices, or files should be set. Any applied conditions should be stored under the conditions field. Two-dimensional data can be stored by setting, for example, N (> 1) values in the scalars field along with a condition that contained N values in its scalars field.
Fields
