Terminology
Many of the terms used to describe the features of
E-Notebook are the same terms that one would use
in describing a paper notebook. In some cases,
however, the terminology is different, and familiar
words—such as collection or section—may have
different meanings. The following terminology is
used in the E-Notebook application and
throughout this guide:
• Administrator – The person who configures
E-Notebook and sets up security permissions.
• Collection – A set of related items in
E-Notebook. Collections are the items that
appear in the E-Notebook Collection Tree.
• Collection Listener – Collection Listeners
modify the behaviors of collections, such as
creating, hiding, renaming, duplicating and
moving behaviors. Administrators assign them
to collections.
• Collection Type – A unit of configuration
that contains business rules for organizing
collections and sections. Each collection type
has a name, an icon for displaying collections
of that type in the collection hierarchy and a set
of business rules that describe what kinds of
operations can be performed on collections of
that type
• Field – A description of a unit of data within a
section type. Each field has a type, which
describes the type of data stored in the field,
and a name. Examples of different types of
fields include a property list, a table, a chemical
structure, a spectrum, a Microsoft Word
document. Depending on the type of data
stored in the field, the field may also contain
additional configuration information. For
example, a property list field contains a list of
the properties that can be included in the
property list.
• Form – the layout of a section is determined by
the Form, which contains Fields, Boxes, and
possibly Form Tools.
• Form Tool – a Form Tool is used to perform
particular function in an E-Notebook section,
such as data analysis or data import/export.
• Full Control privilege – The privilege
required to manage the security settings of a
collection. The Full Control privilege
subsumes all of the features associated with the
Read & Write privilege
• History – A list of the versions and transitions
that have been made to a collection.
• Home – The collection that appears when you
first log in to E-Notebook. It is the collection
associated with you as a user.
• Logging In – Entering E-Notebook by
providing a user name and password.
• Meta-data – Data that describes other data.
For example, you can use meta-data such as
creation date or owner's name as parameters
when searching for data and information in
E-Notebook.
• Owner, of a Collection – the E-Notebook
user who created the collection.
• Property List – A list of data properties
corresponding to a particular section. For
example, the property list in a reaction
section may contain pressure, temperature, etc.
• Read privilege – The privilege required to
view a collection in the collection tree, along
with its contents
