Flow Cytometry (FCM) data: format and examples of SeadataNet ODV data and CDI xml metadata files.

Abstract

This file is a general description of an ODV Flow Cytometery (FCM) File for SeaDataNet and the detailed description of ODV file Fields that can be used as well as an example of FCM dataset with the CDI metadata and the corresponding data in the ODV FCM format. This format enables NODC's to make FCM data accessible using SeaDataNet infrastructure and makes it possible for NODC’s to use SeaDataNet to exchange FCM data.
