Data Management

The best way to document data base nowadays is to use meta data, which is data about data folowing as standard. What i used for ci was e m l, the ecological mata data language, but actually also applicable to over fields. So it's a set of exemel standards. And because its machine readable, we can hope that in the fi gers, if someone has data from another epidemity project somewhere else, it will be easier for a researcher to merge the data sets and to use them in he meta analysis. But aybe, maybe i could have forgotten to do that. I think iad saved us p d f. That is a great example.
