History and Citing

In sensor.awi.de the history per item is tracked. Two entities must be considered: history of item configurations and history of item operations.

In the UI always the most recent configuration of the item is displayed. Former item configurations are accessible via the dropdown menu (below the blue bar on the top). Each item version comes with a PID, such as https://hdl.handle.net/10013/sensor.8e03063e-6179-48b4-b626-a25573727623, thus you can specificly address and reference a certain setup of your device, e.g. in reports or articles. This was used for example by Wulff, Lehmenhecker, and Hagemann (2016) when they referenced https://doi.pangaea.de/10013/sensor.664525cf-45b9-4969-bb88-91a1c5e97a5b to describe configuration of an AUV.

Following the link leads to a former setup of the item. (link: https://hdl.handle.net/10013/sensor.9fd3386a-6c1a-4775-bcbb-cc5d50e27494)

Remark: Some actions necessarily create a new version (https://spaces.awi.de/x/0oa0FQ). Versioning is permanently applied to all items and subitems, even if an action is applied to an item but not to its subitems each subitem gets a new handle as well, however, the action itself is not written to the subitems. This behavior is intended to have a proper documentation of the items, even if parts are not involved in certain phases of a measurement procedure. 

For item operations the Actions (see https://spaces.awi.de/x/0oa0FQ) are the place to store and handle such things.
