Set of processes carried out by one or more research users, performed on research data using one or more techniques and/or research software in order to produce synthesized knowledge (e.g., to detect patterns, determine relationships, develop explanations, test hypotheses and/or prove theories) and to eventually suggest the conclusions of a study.

Any kind of physical or virtual item, device, machine or other tools used to perform one or more Fabrication(s), Sample Preparation(s), Model Preparation(s), Data Acquisition(s) and/or any of the processes included in the Data Analysis Lifecycle.

• operates ^op
• uses equipment ^op

Physical or virtual identifiable piece of Equipment used to perform a Data Acquisition and to generate Raw Data.

Project is an enterprise (potentially individual but typically collaborative) of one or more research users, planned to perform one or more studies.

Project member role is an agent role that has role of project member

Data collected, created or examined by one or more research users to be analyzed or considered as a basis for reasoning, discussion or calculation in a research context, with the purpose of generating, verifying and validating original scientific claims that support the answer to some specific research question (i.e., conclusions).

Research software is software used to generate, process, analyse or access research data during any of the processes included in the data analysis lifecycle (possibly including data rendering, visualization, plotting).

Research user is an agent or person, usually member of a project, who conducts any part of the experiment(s), or performs any of the steps of the data analysis lifecycle during the course of one or more studies.

• operates ^op some
  
• performs agent role ^op some
  

Set of configuration parameters which may be involved, for example, in a data acquisition (e.g., settings of the instrument), in any of the processes included in the data analysis lifecycle (e.g., settings of the research software), or to describe a model (e.g., by specifying the type of solver used).

Study is a set of one or more experiments and corresponding data analysis lifecycle performed by one or more research users who are part of the same project.

Physical or digital entity or set of entities with distinctive properties (structural, chemical, dimensional, functional or others) which is the subject of one or more actions or investigations.

Any experimental, theoretical or computational method used during data acquisition or during any of the processes included in the data analysis lifecycle to acquire, process or analyze research data about a system or a set of them with an instrument.
