FAIRsharing record for: Core Scientific Dataset Model

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Core Scientific Dataset (CSD) model with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) serialization is a lightweight, portable, and versatile standard for intra- and interdisciplinary scientific data exchange. It can also hold correlated datasets assuming the different physical quantities (dependent variables) are sampled on the same orthogonal grid of independent variables. The model encapsulates the dependent variables’ sampled data values and the minimum metadata needed to accurately represent this data in an appropriate coordinate system of independent variables. The CSD model can serve as a re-usable building block in the development of more sophisticated portable scientific dataset file standards.
