+This project was created as a small showcase for a meeting of how to depict MIAPPE in an ARC.
+
+The main focus here is on how the datamap is used to annotate the traits measured in the assay, in this example "plant height"
+
+It contains 
+- a `Study` "PlantSetup", which annotates the preparation of two plants "Plant1" and "Plant2".
+- an `Assay` "PlantHeightMeasurement", which annotates a measurement conducted on these two plants. For this it contains
+    - result table "Measurement.txt"
+    - a process linking "Plant1" and "Plant2" to "row1" and "row2" of the result table using [Data Fragment Selectors](https://github.com/nfdi4plants/ARC-specification/pull/93)
+    - a [Datamap](https://github.com/nfdi4plants/ARC-specification/pull/104), further annotating the columns in the result table
