title: Methodology Class
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Defines the methodology or technique used to derive a measurement or observation.
|
|
|
|
**RULE 53 COMPLIANT**: Created for unique_object_count and unique_face_count
|
|
migration per slot_fixes.yaml revision (lines 1951-1994).
|
|
|
|
**PROV-O ALIGNMENT**:
|
|
|
|
Maps to `prov:Plan` - "A plan is an entity that represents a set of actions or
|
|
steps intended by one or more agents to achieve some goals."
|
|
|
|
In the PROV-O data model, a Plan describes HOW an activity was performed.
|
|
Methodology extends this to describe HOW a measurement was derived.

|

|
|
description: >-
|
|
Describes the methodology, technique, or algorithm used to derive a measurement.
|
|
|
|
**PROV-O ALIGNMENT**:
|
|
|
|
Maps to `prov:Plan` which represents "a set of actions or steps intended by
|
|
one or more agents to achieve some goals." In measurement contexts, this
|
|
describes HOW a value was computed or derived.
|
|
|
|
**WHY METHODOLOGY MATTERS**:
|
|
|
|
Two measurements of "unique objects" could use different methodologies:
|
|
|
|
| Methodology | Description | Accuracy |
|
|
|-------------|-------------|----------|
|
|
| ENTITY_RESOLUTION | Deduplication via feature matching | High |
|
|
| TRACKING | Object tracking across frames | Medium |
|
|
| MANUAL_COUNT | Human counting | Variable |
|
|
| SAMPLING | Statistical sampling | Estimated |
|
|
|
|
Without methodology, two measurements cannot be meaningfully compared.
|
|
|
|
**HERITAGE USE CASES**:
|
|
|
|
- **Video annotation**: How unique faces/objects were counted (entity resolution)
|
|
- **Collection inventories**: How item counts were derived (physical vs. digital)
|
|
- **Visitor statistics**: How attendance was measured (counters, tickets, samples)
|
|
- **Digitization metrics**: How completeness was assessed
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```yaml
