Metadata in the Physical Sciences
This section of the Knowledge Base is currently being worked on!
You might encounter placeholder topics as we continue our work, and the section's structure and content may evolve over time as additional material is incorporated.
It is intended that this section of the Knowledge Base will provide an introduction to metadata in the physical sciences, including an introduction to relevant standards.
This section also contains the documentation associated with metadata used in the PSDI project. Find out how PSDI makes use of metadata using this link.
What to do next
- Download a PDF copy of Quantities, Units, and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, the IUPAC Green Book
- Use the interactive IUPAC Gold Book: Compendium of Chemical Terminology
- Access other IUPAC Colour Books for terminology and nomenclature of relevance to the physical sciences community
