Table Name: ANL_ACCURACY
SAMPLE ANALYSIS ACCURACY: Use this table to capture information about the accuracy of an analysis, a specific step in
an analysis or the accuracy of a specific result of an analysis. You can capture the accuracy of any result by identifying the
SYSTEM, TABLE and COLUMN in which the result is stored, and the PPDM_REFERENCED_GUID to identify the specific
row of data that is relevant.
Column Name Null Data Type Length Key Ref Table(s) Column Comment
ANALYSIS IDENTIFIER: Unique identifier for a sample analysis. Various types of

ACCURACY_OBS_NO N NUMBER 8 P
observation for this study or step.
ACCURACY DESCRIPTION: Narrative remarks about the accuracy or
trustworthiness of a study, a step in a study or a specific result of a study. To indicate

ACCURACY_DESC Y VARCHAR2 240
which specific result you are referring to, use the SYSTEM, TABLE, COLUMN and
REFERENCED PPDM GUID.
ANALYSIS ACCURACY TYPE: The kind of accuracy that is indicated, such as the
accuracy of transcription from paper or spreadsheet into the database, or the

ACCURACY_TYPE Y VARCHAR2 40 R_ANL_ACCURACY_TYPE
accuracy of the readings that a piece of equipment can make, or the impact of a
contaminant intothe sample that may render results inaccurate.
ACTIVE INDICATOR: A Y or N flag indicating whether this row of data is currently

ACTIVE_IND Y VARCHAR2 1
either active/valid (Y) or inactive/invalid (N).
CALCULATED INDICATOR: A Y/N flag indicating that this value is calculated (as
CALCULATED_IND Y VARCHAR2 1
opposed to measured).
CALCULATION METHOD IDENTIFIER: Unique identifier for the method or formula

CALCULATE_METHOD_ID Y VARCHAR2 40 ANL_CALC_METHOD
used to create a calculated or derived value.
REFERENCE ANALYSIS CONFIDENCE TYPE: The level of confidence or certainty
for an analysis value. Various systems for measurement are defined in literature, and
CONFIDENCE_TYPE Y VARCHAR2 40 R_ANL_CONFIDENCE_TYPE may be text based (CERTAIN, PROBABLE, UNCERTAIN) or number based. This
value tends to be subjective, and indicates the level of trust the analyst has in the
result.

PPDM_GUID Y VARCHAR2 38
optional PPDM NOT NULL and UNIQUE INDEX constraints provided in the data
model DDL should be created.
RAW VALUE INDICATOR: A Y/N flag indicating that this value is a raw value (as
RAW_VALUE_IND Y VARCHAR2 1
opposed to a calculated value).
PPDM COLUMN NAME: The name of a column that has an association with this
level of classification system. This may be used in conjunction with an appropriate
foreign key from the column that is referenced, or may be used generically in
REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME Y VARCHAR2 30 PPDM_COLUMN
combination with the PPDM_REFERENCED_GUID, which points to the row in the
column that is related to the classification system level. In this case, it is essential
that the PPDM GUID in the source table be managed carefully and appropriately.

PPDM REFERENCED GUID: The GUID in the table that has an association with this
level of a classification system. In this case, we recommend that the name of the
REFERENCED_PPDM_GUID Y VARCHAR2 38

study result. Indicates how consistently the same or a similar result will be obtained
when a step is repeated. A result may be highly repeatable, but still incorrect or
REPEATABILITY_TYPE Y VARCHAR2 40 R_ANL_REPEATABILITY
nottrustworthy. For example a sample contaminant may affect your trust in the data,
even though you get the same (incorrect) answer again and again. Equipment
capabilities may also result in a highly repeatable but inaccurate result.

some cases, one procedure may both prepare a sample for the next step and be used in an analysis, creating some
ambiguity about whethera step is a preparation step or an analysis step. However, for this table whether the step is a
preparation or analysis is irrelevent. Preparation steps may include acid washes, thin sectioning or size fractionating. Analysis
steps may include pyrolysis or fractioning.

column, in the event that a default value is allowed. May include things like a
SYSTEM DATE, USERID, null, or some other value. Please note that default values

both of which should re-sequence to value 1 for each new parent.
NULLABLE INDICATOR: a column indicating whether the column is nullable in this
implementation. A value of Y indicates the column is nullable (optional). PPDM

OUOM_COLUMN_NAME Y VARCHAR2 30 PPDM_COLUMN
that contains the original unit of measure for the value of this column.

PPDM schema.
CROSS REFERENCE CONDITION: The type of condition that must be met before
this cross reference comes into effect, usually used when you need to create a
branched or dependent sequence of events. For example, one row of data will state

that if the rule indicated as RULE_ID is successful, go to RULE_ID2. In another row
of data, you can state that if the first rule has failed, a different RULE_ID2 would be in
force.
