HOWTOs

This section contains practical how-to guides, instructions, and tutorials. These are intended to illustrate and demonstrate how to work with TDC-compliant data and metadata, and develop code and other tools that process such (meta)data.

Put another way, a HOWTO shows just one possible, suggested, or recommended way to comply with the standards. In contrast, the Data standards are prescriptive.
