Context Based Processes Augmented by Context Addressable Storage

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing program instructions executable on one or more computer subsystems for performing a computer-implemented method for generating information for a specimen, wherein the computer-implemented method comprises:

• generating images of a specimen with an imaging subsystem;
• storing the images in a context addressable storage subsystem with context associated with the images, wherein the context comprises at least spatial information for the images relative to one or more coordinate systems;
• retrieving one or more of the images based on the context associated with the images;
• and
• determining information for the specimen based on the retrieved one or more of the images and the context associated with the retrieved one or more of the images, wherein said storing, retrieving, and determining are performed by the one or more computer subsystems.
