Usability Domain (usability_domain)

This section defines the usability_domain part of the BCO structure. The associated IEEE schema that contains the definition can be found here.

The usability domain of a BCO is an array of free text values, or plain language description, of what was done in the workflow and conveys the purpose of the BCO. It provides a specific scientific use case and a description of the function of the BCO. It should align with the actual steps described elsewhere in the BCO and should be consistent with the terminology used in the name, external references (xref), and keywords sections. The usability domain, along with keywords, can help determine when and how the BCO can be used. It is recommended that a novel use of a specific BCO would result in the creation of a new BCO with a new usability domain.

A usability_domain should read like an abstract and conceptually can be broken down into the following sections.

1. Need
2. Method
3. Results
4. How the results can be used/interpreted
