Dataset Metadata

Each ICAT dataset can have metadata associated with it, describing experimental and contextual information. The definitions of these metadata elements are documented in the ICAT metadata definitions project. Additionally, metadata specific to the experimental techniques and their ontology is described in the ESRF ontologies documentation.

BLISS: add dataset or sample metadata

For details, see the BLISS documentation.

In Python, scan_saving can be accessed from the current BLISS session to read or update dataset metadata:

from bliss import current_session

sample_name = current_session.scan_saving.dataset["Sample_name"]
