Request to rename photoemission microscopy to photoelectron emission microscopy

[BalazsBago]

I got a suggestion from our scientist to rename the photoemission microscopy to photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM).

Is it possible to modify the label for an already existing technique?

So, after consulting a number of PEEM experts at Diamond, they tell me that the preferred name is 'photoemission electron miscroscopy', and that this is the name used by its inventor and Wikipedia.

Currently, PaNET has 'photoemission microscopy' as the main name, with 'photoemission electron miscroscopy' and 'PEEM' as alternative names. We can indeed change this.

I would suggest we use 'photoemission electron miscroscopy' as the preferred name and 'PEEM' and 'photoelectron emission microscopy' as alternative names. Is this acceptable? It shouldn't make any different whether people use the preferred name/label or alternative names.

I think you suggestion is totally acceptable.

In my opinion the current views of the ontology do not support well enough the alternative names information.

• photoemission microscopy: I have not found here the alternative names.
• BIOPORTAL: Here the details view shows it as "altLabel", but on the visualisation tab you have to click on it see it and it list the alternative names as "synonym".

It is Photoemission Electron Microscopy at HZB. @BalazsBago maybe it is something that can configrated here https://expands-eu.github.io/ExPaNDS-experimental-techniques-ontology/index-en.html#http://purl.org/pan-science/PaNET/PaNET01146

So, the proposal is to:

• change the label from 'photoemission microscopy' to 'photoemission electron miscroscopy' (as the preferred name)
• add 'PEEM' (already included) and 'photoelectron emission microscopy' as alternative names
