Add possibility to add a reference to an external "analysis document"/description #74
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Would be nice if we could put also an optional URL/Link/DOI to individual tables to an external document describing how the data was generated. Would allow/improve reproducibility or transparency of how the data was generated.
Describe the solution you'd like
This could be achieved by adding additional attributes in the metadata section of mzTab-M, e.g.
MTD small_molecule_summary-uri[1] https://...
We should also discuss if there would be a way to provide type of the link, so that some semantic meaning can be associated.
Describe alternatives you've considered
This could also be realized as part of a new methods part in the metadata of mzTab-M. We currently have sample_processing but having a more generic workflow part would also align better with the metadata we need to include for MetaboLights or other repositories.
