Standard¶
Carob uses the terminag standard that defines a controlled vocabulary of variable names, their units, and acceptable (ranges of) values.
The terminag standard can be used “stand-alone” for your own data, and as part of the data compilation done through the Carob project.
The standard is defined in a number of tables that are available on the termiag github site and via the R package carobiner.
terminag has these tables that list accepted variable names, accepted ranges for numerical variables, and indicate if a variable is required: all, crop, location, maize, metadata, soil, survey, weather, wheat These tables list accepted values for character type variables OM, acaricides, animal, country, crop, currency, datatype, fertilizer_type, fungicides, herbicides, implement, insecticides, institute, method, mulch_type, nematicides, pathogen, rhizobium, soil_texture, stress_type, yield_part
