ADA Geochemistry Building Blocks

Modular metadata schema components for the Astromat Data Archive (ADA), built using the OGC Building Blocks pattern.

Structure

adaProperties (31 schema components)

Property building blocks that define ADA-specific metadata elements: file types, instrument details, technique-specific data structures, spatial registration, and more.

adaProfiles (36 resource type profiles)

Metadata profiles that compose property building blocks with CDIF base schemas:

• adaProduct — base ADA product profile (composes cdifMandatory + cdifOptional + ADA properties)
• 35 technique profiles — technique-specific constraints (e.g., adaSEM, adaXRD, adaICPMS, adaTEM)

Cross-repo imports

This repository imports shared schema.org and CDIF property building blocks from metadataBuildingBlocks via the OGC Building Blocks import mechanism.
