Folder "Agricutural survey":
This example provides the data and import schemas for the "Import wizard tutorial" of the DiversityDescriptions user manual. The tutorial demonstrates how to import the data from the data files Survey_Questions.txt and Survey_Answers.txt by using the import wizard for descriptors and the import wizard for descriptions into the workshop database. Several import schemas are provided that correspond to the tutorial steps 2 to 7.

Folder "Biomass as description":
This example imports each data line of the import file as a separate description. In DiversityDescriptions create the project "Biomass as description" and a descriptor tree with the same name. In the "Matrix Wizard" open the data file Biomass_Import_Data.txt and use import schema Biomass_MatrixSchema_Description.xml.

Folder "Biomass as sample":
This example creates a new description item and imports each comparative study plot (CSP) the import file as a separate sampling event and appends all associated data lines as sampling units. In DiversityDescriptions create the project "Biomass as description" and a descriptor tree with the same name. In the "Matrix Wizard" select the target "Sampling event", open the data file Biomass_Import_Data.txt and use import schema Biomass_MatrixSchema_Sample.xml.

Folder "LIASlight Wording":
The file Wording_LIASlight_Data.txt contains Wording information of the descriptors and categorical states of project LIASlight. The wordings for the categorical states are already present in the example database. To import the wordings for the descriptors, start the "Import wizard" for descriptors and select the first import session. In the import wizard open the data file Wording_LIASlight_Data.txt and use schema Wording_LIASlight_DescriptorSchema.xml.

Folder "Tutorial SDD":
The file Tutorial_Workshop_SDD.xml contains a simple example of description data on the SDD format. In the "Import SDD" panel of DiversityDescriptions open the file Tutorial_Workshop_SDD.xml and click the "Analyse" button. If that step was successful, you may view the SDD contents as as a tree. To write the data into the database click the "Import" button.

File "FASTAtest.fas":
This file contains two proteine sequences in the FASTA format. To start the import, right-click the "Molecular sequence" area in the "Descriptor view" and select the "Import" option. A separate window appears where you may open the FASTA file and select one of the two sequences.
