\item[parameter] short parameter name \textit{example: SST}   \item[description] longer description of the parameter \textit{example: sea-surface temperature inferred from Mg/Ca ratios}  \item[units] \textit{example: deg C}  \item[climateIntepretation] five parameters that allow for a concise description of how the climate-sensitive parameter is related to climate. This is required for at least one column in the PAGES 2k database, but may not be appropriate for all paleoArchives.  \begin{description}  \item[parameter] what aspect(s) of climate are recorded in this archive; \textit{example: temperature}  \item[parameterDetail] provides detail on "climateInterpretationParameter" \textit{example: sea surface}  \item[seasonality] \textit{example: May, June , July}  \item[interpretationDirection] Do the values have a positive or negative relation to the inferred parameter \textit{example: positive}  \item[basis] quote from paper or other argument that justifies the interpretation \textit{example: regional core top calibration equation (Bakker et al., 2005}  \end{description  \end{description}  \item[chronData metadata] metadata associated with chronDataTable:
