Therefore,it can be useful to think of the sample history a set of events and steps, and conditions apply prior to acertain point in time and bundle these pieces of information (metadata, numerical data) in an owninformation package. When communicated with files, it suffices to state that the sample history isspecified in this vault with pieces of information. Then, a reference to the location of or a (globally)persistent unique identifier (PID) of e.g. another file or information node in a database.This reference should document ideally as many details as possible of the material, its microstructure,and its thermo-chemo-mechanical processing/preparation history. In the case that such a detailed history ofthe sample/specimen is not available, use this field as a free-text description to specify a sub-set of theentire sample history, i.e. those steps that you would consider as being the key steps of the preparation.sources:-https://www.fair-di.eu/fairmat/fairmat_/consortiumorcid:0000-0002-7117-5196ratified:False
