# Additional Information

The "Additional Information" tab is used to provide registry-specific metadata, as opposed to the previous tabs which allow the update of metadata that is common to all FAIRsharing records.

## Standards

Standards records have the following sections within Additional Information:

* [Associated Tools](/fairsharing/additional-information/associated-tools.md)
* [Cross References](/fairsharing/additional-information/cross-references.md)
* [Data Processes](/fairsharing/additional-information/data-processes.md)
* [Regular expressions](/fairsharing/additional-information/regular-expressions.md): *optional, **Identifier Schema** subtype only.*

## Databases

Database records have the following sections within Additional Information:

* [Associated Tools](/fairsharing/additional-information/associated-tools.md)
* [Certification and Community Badges](/fairsharing/additional-information/certification-and-community-badges.md)
* [Cross References](/fairsharing/additional-information/cross-references.md)
* [Data Processes](/fairsharing/additional-information/data-processes.md)
* [Database Conditions](/fairsharing/additional-information/database-conditions.md)

## Policies

* [Policy Content and Scope](/fairsharing/additional-information/policy-content-and-scope.md)

## Collections

* **Reference URL**: This should be a direct link to a page either listing each of the resources included in the collection (if the collection is a live implementation of an already-released listing), or to a page describing the purpose/intent of the FAIRsharing collection as the primary source of this grouping of resources. In some small number of cases, where neither option is available, the curation team may choose to temporarily leave this field blank, until a suitable reference URL is provided by the maintainers.

## FAIRassist

* [Associated Tools](/fairsharing/additional-information/associated-tools.md)
* [Metric tests and examples](/fairsharing/additional-information/metric-tests-and-examples.md)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://fairsharing.gitbook.io/fairsharing/additional-information.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
