ODRC data schema: Voluntary milking system (VMS) action data

Data schemas describe data that are collected on an ongoing basis from research centres, and provide add-on documentation that enhances the value of raw data. This schema is applicable to all datasets collecting data on action taken by the Voluntary Milking System (VMS) upon a cow's entry.

When a cow enters the Voluntary Milking System (VMS), the system can either accept the cow for milking, reject the cow for milking, or release the cow unmilked. Data described in this schema is sample data, to request access to the related data, please visit the Ontario Dairy Research Centre Data Portal.
