He said that though the &#8220;instrumentation and technologies&#8221; are referring to hardware and software some of his colleagues may think of it as a type of thermometer.\u00a0 Similarly he argued that though the &#8220;methods for naming&#8221; may be referring to the conventions or standards in the fields, some of his colleagues may take that to mean the names that make the most sense to them. Though I see what he means with the naming argument, I do not agree with the instrumentation comment.\u00a0 I do think that the question is asking for the type of thermometer if in fact the researcher collects data using a thermometer.\u00a0 Correct?\u00a0 Regardless, this confusion indicates that this part of the tool\/explanation isn&#8217;t quite clear.\u00a0 But I am not entirely sure about how to make it more clear&#8230;. suggestions?<\/p>\n<p>#2-\u00a0 data standards and metadata standards information &#8211;&gt; this is difficult and something I have been struggling with the entire internship.\u00a0 I always had a hunch that more information about data and metadata standards would be useful.\u00a0 But more links to website such as the Dublin core official website for example might just add to the chaos and clutter of the site rather than informing people.\u00a0 One of the respondents said that a chart of repositories and which standards\/metadata standards they accept might be nice.\u00a0 Then we run into the problem of promoting certain repositories over others.
