A set of activities that occurred to a physical entity prior/during experiment.

Ideally, a full report of the previous operations (or links to a chain of operations). Alternatively, notes allow for additional descriptors in any format.

Any activity that was performed on the physical entity prior or during the experiment. In the future, if there is base class inheritance, this can describe any activity, including processes and measurements.

PHYSICAL_PROCESS: (optional) NXphysical_process

Any physical process that was performed on the physical entity prior or during ...

Any physical process that was performed on the physical entity prior or during the experiment.

CHEMICAL_PROCESS: (optional) NXchemical_process

Any chemical process that was performed on the physical entity prior or during ...

Any chemical process that was performed on the physical entity prior or during the experiment.

IDENTIFIER: (optional) NXidentifier

An ID or reference to the location or a unique (globally ...

An ID or reference to the location or a unique (globally persistent) identifier of e.g. another file which gives as many as possible details of the history event.

notes: (optional) NXnote

A descriptor to keep track of the treatment of the physical entity before or during the experiment (NXnote allows to add pictures, audio, movies). Alternatively, a reference to the location or a unique identifier or other metadata file. In the case these are not available, free-text description. This should only be used in case that there is no rigorous description using the base classes above. This field can also be used to pull in any activities that are not well described by an existing base class definition.
