Activity:LabProcess

Activity:LabProcess node definition.

Description

Nodes with both the "Activity" and "LabProcess" labels, representing an individual non-field action such as a laboratory analysis, artifact cleaning, etc. "LabProcess" activities may take place during a "FieldSeaon" activity or separate from a FieldSeason, and may be composed of multiple sub-activities of various types. Represented in visualizations by HTML hex color #264653: Activity:LabProcess with white (#FFFFFF) label text.

Analogy

A row in a "LabProcess" spreadsheet or relational database table.

Example

We need to develop a coherent, consistent, and logical naming scheme. example: "UJAP.Lab.2025-04-31" for labwork on April 31 2024?

CIDOC-CRM Mapping

MAYBE include a short summmary here, but leave the details for the designated CIDOC-CRM section.

Node Properties

Basic Properties

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
-	-	-	-	-	-
uid	string	Y	Y	Unique identifier as alphanumeric slug, prepended with “lp-”	"lp-ujap-2025-04-31"
name	string	Y	Y	Unique name by which this LabProcess is known in the database.	"UJAP.Lab.2025-04-31"
description	string	Y	n	Short description of the LabProcess activity recorded by this node. Will almost certainly be unique, but this is not enforced.	"Lab analysis of soil samples on 31 January 2025."
dateStart	string (edtf)	n	n	Where relevant and available, the date this activity began, as precisely as possible, in extended date-time format (level 0/1 supported).	"2025-04-31"
dateEnd	string (edtf)	n	n	Where relevant and available, the date this activity ended, as precisely as possible, in extended date-time format (level 0/1 supported).	"2025-04-31"

TENTATIVE Properties

(these may be changed to edge/relationships with Vocab terms, rather than directly stored as node properties)

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
-	-	-	-	-	-
method	[string list]	n	n	A list of general methods used in this LabProcess activity, as a string array. Values are selected from the Vocab:MethodType controlled vocabulary	["method1," "method2"]
tool	[string list]	n	n	A list of general tools/equipment used in this LabProcess activity, as a string array. Values are selected from the Vocab:ToolType controlled vocabulary.	["tool1", "tool2", "tool3"]
conditions	[string list]	n	n	A list of conditions under which this LabProcess activity took place, as a string array. Values are selected from the Vocab:ActivityConditions controlled vocabulary.	["condition1", "condition2"]

System/Audit Properties

(these are not required/enforced by Neo4j but are populated via the UJAP Database web application; these could also be handled—perhaps more simply—by edge/relationship to AuditEvent nodes)

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
proposedAt	datetime	n	n	Timestamp of entity proposal (initial database record creation)	"2026-01-30T02:39:15.638Z"
proposedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who created this entity's initial/proposed record	"person@email.com"
approvedAt	datetime	n	n	Timestamp of entity proposal (initial database record creation)	"2026-01-30T12:47:15.638Z"
approvedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who created this entity's initial/proposed record	"person@email.com"
committedAt	datetime	n	n	of node entity COMMIT (i.e., formal approval/ publishing to database by an admin).	"2026-01-31T02:41:56.043Z"
committedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who COMMITTED this node entity.	"person@email.com"
