Analysis
The organisms in a specimen can be analysed by analysis types defined in
the database. In the tree the analysis entries are symbolized with an
icon. Only the types of analysis that were
assigned to the group of the organism can be selected. An analysis
always refers to an organism and may also refer to a part of a specimen.
An analysis that refers to a part of a specimen will be shown in the
tree for the parts as shown in the examples below.
To show or hide the analysis items in the tree use the
button in the left panel. This button has 3
states. In the default state the analysis
entries will be shown as above. If you click a
second time it will change to the hierarchy mode
and the entries will appear as shown
in the tree below. The last state 
will hide
the entries.
To insert a new analysis to an organism select the organism in the upper tree. Then select the type of the analysis from the drop down list as shown below.
To delete an analysis, select it in the tree and use the
button in the panel on the left. To edit the
details of an analysis, select it in the tree and enter data into the
fields as shown below. To enter or inspect an URI given for a single
analysis, click on the 
button.
If an analysis refers to a part of the specimen, you can document this by choosing the respective part from the list (see field Part above). The analysis will then be shown in the tree for the parts of the specimen as well. Alternatively you may directly choose the organism in the part tree and create the analysis for this part of the organism in the part tree. If you used any tools defined in the toolsection, you can include the usage of these tools.
In case the measurement unit of the analysis set to DNA (see below) ...
... the Result is edited as shown below.
A click on the 
button opens a separate window
(see below) with additional options for editing the sequence.
Administration
If you require further information about an analysis click on the
button. A window for the analysis
administration will open. If you have the proper rights you can edit the
analysis types used in your collection as shown below. This window is
also accessible via the menu entry Administration - Analysis...
For the import and export of data it is sometimes necessary to know the IDs of the analysis types. To see the IDs, click on the [ ID] button to display them as shown in the image below.
The types of an analysis are restricted by the taxonomic group of
the organism or object to be analysed and from the projects. You may
edit the list of taxonomic groups resp. projects, which
can use a certain analysis, using the 
and
button. To add all used taxonomic groups resp.
projects, you can use the 
buttons. For details
about handling data see the data section. If you add a
taxonomic group or a project to an analysis, all children of this
analysis will be available for these taxonomic groups resp. projects as
well (see image below). Thus, in the example above it is sufficient to
enter the taxonomic group and the project in the analysis Mammals to
have access to all analysis within this superior analysis as shown in
the tree. The different types of analysis are organized in a hierarchy.
To organize. Some of the entries may only serve for structuring purposes
(e.g. Mammals as shown above) and should not be used to document the
analysis of the specimen. To ensure this, check the checkbox [Only
hierarchy].
There are 3 states for result lists in the main form. (1) No result list
will be generated if a measurement unit is defined, for example if you
specify "mm" as the measurement unit. (2) If no measurement unit is
defined, the program will collect all values given so far and present
these values as a list. (3) Some types of analysis need categorized
values. Enter these values together with their description in the
Result list as shown below using the 
and
buttons respectively. To show values different
from the entries in the Result column change the entries in the
Display text column.
If you want to access or inspect an URI given for an analysis type,
click on the button. The URI related to the
analysis will then be displayed in the window below.
Besides of a plain text description of the analysis, you may insert
methods as defined in the chapter Methods. Use the
and buttons to add or remove
methods from the list (see below). The added methods will be marked with
sequential number (see Mark.: ... ) to allow several methods of the
same type.
Every method may have several parameters 
that
will automatically be available to take your values. If the definitions
of the parameters have been changed, you may add missing parameters with
the button. A window as shown below will open where
you can select the missing parameters you want to add.
To view the history of a dataset, click on the
button. A window
with the history will open. For more details see the section
