Morpho Editor | |
The "general purpose" description editor is used to display and possibly edit all the details of the structured metadata documents used by Morpho. Examples of editor windows are shown below. The first shows general information about a Data Package, and the second shows details of the abstract for the dataset. ![]() ![]() Each type of data description document (i.e. each metadata type) has some structure which is indicated by the hierarchical outline on the left. Items in the outline are color coded to indicate which items are required and which can be repeated. The legend for this color-coding is found at the bottom-left of the screen. When an item is selected in this outline, a form based view of the information contained in the selected item is shown on the right side of the window. A 'right-click' on any item in the outline displays a popup menu (as shown below) which allows the user to choose among several options. These include duplicating an item, deleting an item, or copy and pasting items. Note that all of these operations will include not only the selected item, but also all of the item's 'children' in the indicated hierarchy. Most of the fields on the right side of the editor screen are editable. One can just click on the field of interest and enter text. The 'tab key' will move the selection to the next editable field. Note that non-required fields that are empty will not be saved when changes are made, but will appear again as empty fields when the document is opened again in the editor. Technical Notes:
