- How were the data collected, handled, or processed?
Process_Step:
Process_Description: text
I usually make this description fairly long but I don't usually include
program code; where the processing was done using some script or program I
usually refer to another file that contains the code itself. Other people
do things differently so don't be surprised if you see a lot of variability
in how people process steps are described.
