Object template

Project Info

Project Info is a CASRAI object template recording the details that allow unique identification and classification of a research activity.

Project Info records the information that allows unique identification and classification of a research activity, including its short and long titles, a descriptive summary, and standard identifiers for the activity and any parent program.

Keywords, a research classification, and a temporal classification further situate the activity, positioning it as core project metadata within the CASRAI-derived structured object model.
