Abstract
Metadata are necessary to describe scientific experiments. The use of metadata schemas enable the collection of structured and standardized metadata, supporting the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of the data and metadata in accordance with the FAIR data principles. This paper introduces the first metadata schemas for the analytical methods of anion and cation ion-exchange chromatography measurements. The developed schemas are aligned with the ASTM E1151:1993 norm defining terms and relationships in ion chromatography. They are implemented by using the common JSON schema standard and publicly shared for direct use and further refinement for various application fields of IC measurements. Approval of the schema in laboratory environments was achieved in the field of applied plasma science and two examples from different use cases of water analysis for plasma applications are represented. Through practical application, the introduced schemas have demonstrated their effectiveness in laboratory environments, marking a step forward in standardizing the documentation of IC measurements to support advanced research data management and the application of modern data science methods.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
