A detailed description is provided [here](broken://pages/aEm7dHlS9v90lTlNe9GV). Internal C-CoMP Dataset Numbers - Internal tracking number (format CMP###) assigned to every C-CoMP dataset for organization and sharing purposes. A detailed description and directions for how to request an internal dataset number are provided [here](broken://pages/98cmlcUsIyiEFf8NeN2z). C-CoMP Data Catalog - A spreadsheet record of all C-CoMP datasets. The C-CoMP Data Catalog is an internal document but an example template is provided [here](broken://pages/98cmlcUsIyiEFf8NeN2z). Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) - NSF-funded repository for storing biological and chemical oceanography datasets. Read more about BCO-DMO on their website [here](https://www.bco-dmo.org/about-us). Domain repository - specialized repository for storing ‘omics files and associated metadata. Example repositories include MetaboLights, Metabolomics Workbench, PRIDE (ProteomeXchange), and NCBI’s Sequence Read Archive. Metadata - Descriptive qualitative and quantitative data that provide contextual information for other data. A detailed description is provided [here](/data-management-handbook/data-group-definitions.md). Raw data - Raw data refers to the initial files that have not been modified, corrected, compressed, or filtered. A detailed description is provided [here](/data-management-handbook/data-group-definitions.md). Derived data - Derived data files include files that have been converted into a different format from the original version. A detailed description is provided [here](/data-management-handbook/data-group-definitions.md). Data products - Any files generated from data analysis of raw or derived files. A detailed description is provided [here](/data-management-handbook/data-group-definitions.md). Research products - All files generated through the research process. Research products include: protocols, code, data (raw, derived), data products, and research articles. FAIR principles - A set of principles that govern the management and stewardship of data in an open science context. FAIR is the acronym and each letter refers to a separate principle. F = Finadable, A = Accessible, I = Interoperable, R = Reusable. Detailed information about FAIR can be found [here](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/). Tabular data - Datasets that are recorded in a spreadsheet using the rows and columns convention. Rows can be samples and columns can be measurements or conditions. The intersection between a column and row reflects a quantitative or qualitative measure for that sample X measurement type or condition. Most datasets will include tabular data in some form. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://c-comp.gitbook.io/data-management-handbook/glossary-of-terms.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
