Device & Pipette schema feedback

[UlrikeS91]

Device

property	feedback
deviceType	-
internalIdentifier	-
manufacturer	We used "vendor" in the StockNumber schema (used in the "Strain" schema) pointing to an "core/Organization". Wouldn't that make sense here to? So, pointing to "core/Organization" not the "vendor" part 😆
modelName	-
serialNumber	-
description	-
software	Isn't this weird in combination with devices that cannot have a software? Like electrodes or pipettes?
parameterSet	change according to https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS_core/issues/322

"Manufacturer" and "modelName" should maybe be optional, e.g. custom-made pipettes cannot fulfill this criterion.

Pipette

• solution: again as raised originally in #7
• make "pipetteResistance" optional? I used pipettes for injecting tracer in subjects (attached to Nanoject for pressure injections). So, it would be nice to be able to use this schema for that too, but I never measured any resistance.
• maybe later on we could revise the schema to have two solutions - one for the "filler" and one for the "agent" (please don't judge me for the terms...); example from above: The pipettes I used where first filled with some oil ("filler") and then loaded with the tracer solution ("agent").

"manufacturer": good idea. Should probably be Organization or Person.

"software": do you have any suggestions? We could have an extension ElectronicDevice? (we also need to revisit the HardwareSystem schema in the computation module, which overlaps with this).

Yeah, you can use category "LegalPerson". Then you get both. We didn't do that for the "StockNumber" schema because it seemed wrong to assume that single persons would provide stock numbers. But for a manufacturer, why not.

"software": do you have any suggestions? We could have an extension ElectronicDevice? (we also need to revisit the HardwareSystem schema in the computation module, which overlaps with this).

Yeah, your idea sounds pretty good. Have a device schema that fits any kind of device and then extend this with other schemas for more specialized categories. "ElectronicDevice" could be for amplifiers and such. This could get the property "software". "Probe" (or similar) could be for pipettes and electrodes (and others in the future, like a biopsy tool) . But only if there are properties that would specifically apply to those. Otherwise, they just extend the "device" schema then.
