All data objects in the RDMS are stored with their metadata. Data objects are files but also folders.

The metadata adds to the findability of data in the long term. If the users at a later stage want to again retrieve data stored on the RDMS, the metadata information can greatly simplify the process of both finding the desired data and providing important experimental details. In the RDMS, you can search for all the attached metadata. Creation date, owner of the file, text within files and all the metadata that was attached, like for instance the type of measurements or the machine that made the measurements.

When clicking the Search button, the Search screen opens. You can also save your search parameters.

  • When the input is [a b] the search engine will search for [%a b%]
  • if you type [a & b] the search engine will search for [%a% and %b%]

This syntax applies to the text fields and all metadata fields on this form.

Other options:

  • [|] as OR condition: [a & b | b & c] will return [%a% and %b%] OR [%b% and %c%]
  • [<>] exact match (“a b”) will be 'a b' search.
