Data processing applied before archiving has been described in comment fields in pilot uses of the metadata format. Perhaps it would be useful to define a specific field "processing" for such information to make it easier to find and prompting authors to provide this info? For example, if data is converted from strain rate to velocity, what method and parameters were applied?
A related clarification that may be introduced is the relationship between acquisition_rate and pulse_rate fields. In many cases a difference will represent a post-processing step of time downsampling but this may not be completely clear from the description.
