SAMPLE_METADATA

Python object: phenotypic.schema._experimental_tags._sample.SAMPLE_METADATA

Recommended Metadata_* tags identifying a sample and its provenance.

These distinguish individual biological samples and track where each colony came from (replicate, clone, source plate/well, library). Members render as Metadata_<Label> (e.g. Metadata_Replicate) and share the Metadata_ namespace with the other experimental-tag enums. Recommended vocabulary, not a validator: arbitrary metadata columns are still accepted.
