GUIDELINES FOR CATALOGUE PRODUCTION

Full Data Set
for plant cell lines

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is the set of data that is asked to describe each product from each collection. Each catalogue field has to be filled in (use a dash - when no information is given). The MDS is required from new collection centres when they join CABRI.

The Recommended Data Set : collection centres are also asked to supply data for recommended fields; however, if data are not available, the product is still acceptable

Resources centres are free to provide data for other fields, which are part of the Full Data Set (FDS)

If and only if resource centres plan to put in their own FDS an information that is already present in other FDSs THEN they can try to adhere to existing fields:
