How to use and contribute

Templates and forms

Two types of information can be captured using templates/forms so they can be searchable via Category pages. The templates control the formatting, but a free form text box allows the users to add any supporting information (figures, citations). Through these forms, users can optionally assign optional category for the instrument type(s).

Glossary

For mathematical symbols and NetCDF variables, please use Form:NetcdfGlossary or the edit with form option which appears on pages that have already been formatted according to the template. These pages are automatically appended a category Glossary.

Concepts

For any definitions, concepts, or processing steps that need describing please use Form:DefineConcept. These pages have automatically appended the category Concept.

Alternatively, use the edit with form when it appears on pages as it means the data has been formatted using a template/form. Here's an example concept which allows you to edit the content with the form.
