How to include OBON in MIOP metadata #23

At the OBON meeting, we noticed we currently have no distinct way of including whether a protocol is associated with OBON (Ocean Biomolecular Observing Network).

We do have the project key

Details about the project that generated this version of the protocol (e.g., full name of project, acronym(s), principle investigator, lead institute(s), persistant website, funding agency). If possible please provide the most consistent URI associated with your project (e.g. Cordis Project ID for EU projects).

However, this field would likely be used by our projects to note their project identifiers, but not OBON.

To mention OBON, we could either open this field up as a multi-value field (however, being careful that we clearly define what input we expect), or a separate field, which may be easier to parse (especially if we have no clear syntax or if user do not follow syntax expectations of a potential multi-value field).
