PLATE_METADATA
==============

Python object: ``phenotypic.schema._experimental_tags._plate.PLATE_METADATA``

Recommended ``Metadata_*`` tags describing the assay plate and its array.

These capture plate-level grouping and physical layout (plate id, batch, array
density, incubator position). Members render as ``Metadata_<Label>`` (e.g.
``Metadata_PlateID``) and share the ``Metadata_`` namespace with the other
experimental-tag enums. Recommended vocabulary, not a validator.

   * - Column label
     - Description
   * - ``Metadata_PlateID``
     - Identifier of the assay/imaging plate.
   * - ``Metadata_Batch``
     - Experimental batch grouping.
   * - ``Metadata_ArrayDensity``
     - Colony array density, i.e. wells per plate (e.g. 96, 384, 1536).
