Abstract
The present invention relates to a database storage structure for the storage of a plurality of results from an experiment on a sample. The database storage structure includes a result storage table for storing the results from the experiment, one or more first annotation storage tables for storing a first set of variables, and one or more second annotation storage tables for storing a second limited set of variables. The one or more second annotation storage tables are further coupled to one or more concordance tables for storing a concordance between the second limited set of variables and a second list of annotations.
Claims28
A database storage structure (650) having a plurality of results from an experiment on one or more samples comprising:
- one or more result storage tables (710) for storing the results from the experiment,
- at least one or more first annotation storage tables for storing a first set of variables, and
- at least one or more second annotation storage tables for storing a second limited set of variables, the one or more second annotation storage tables being coupled to one or more concordance tables for storing a concordance between the second limited set of variables and a second list of annotations.
A method for entering annotations into a database storage structure comprising:
- accessing a concordance table to obtain a list of annotations,
- using the annotations to generate an input form,
- displaying the input form to an annotator,
- receiving data input by the annotator,
- using the data and the concordance table to generate one or more sets of variables, and
- storing the one or more sets of variables in the database storage structure.
