This table is intended to provide an overview over the different beamtime experiments. Experimental parameters described in this table correspond to the main experiments. Test scans, calibration scans or pilot experiments may feature differing parameters that are not reflected in this table, but are to be found in the individual beamtime pages instead.

Variable_name
Description
Description_abbreviation
Year
Year from AFFORD project in which activities took place
NA
Partner
AFFORD partner team (TIG: the interface group; CRS: Center for Reproducible Science)
NA
Collaborator
Surname of the main person(s) executing the actions
NA
Facility_1
country where data were collected
NA
Facility_2
name of synchrotron facility
NA
Facility_country
name of experimental facilities of a synchrotron particle accelerator
NA
Acquisition_start_date
DD-MM-YYYY date of the official first day of the beamtime allocated for the experiment. Internally within the Sinergia project, beamtime experiments are often informally identified by the month and year they took place.
NA
Acquisition_proposal_number
Identification number of the synchrotron beamtime proposal. This number helps identifying the beamtime experiment at the different facilities
NA
Acquisition_data_type
Contains a shorthand for the scientific purpose for which the data was collected. Typically corresponds to the official project associated with a given beamtime experiment, or is given as “General”
NA
Execution_period
Whether the activite was conducted before, during (offsite or onsite) or after data acquisition
NA
Purpose
Goals of the task; Data Sharing and Publishing: open research data and metadata curation, documentation and publishing; Internal Documentation: Activities related to documenting data internally, minimum curation for internal sharing; Data and File Management: file operations and internal documentation that would need to be done even if no data publication was envisioned; Data Stewardship: helping other groups or researchers setting up similar activities; Supporting Documentation : writing more generic documentation on how-to perform some actions;
NA
Action
Specific actions performed
NA
Action_sub
Sub action when applicable (else N/A)
NA

Comments
Free text describing details about the activity
NA
Active_time_h
Time needed for task spent in action, requiring active work by a person
NA
Waiting_time_h
Time needed for task that does not include any active work from project partners. Most commonly computer busy time (e.g. waiting for file transfer, processing etc.), but may also include waiting for external parties (e.g. IT support)
NA
Time_monitoring
prospective: start of task was anticipated and time tracking was started, giving precise time information. Retrospective: action was already finished when time requirement was calculated, giving only rough estimates
NA
