Hi Micheal,

I am not sure I got it: attaching the interpretation of data should be 
valuable, as well as finding a good way to model such interpretation. 
Moreover, a single chip is is related, for instance to an array design 
or an extraction protocol, you could talk about an array design, for 
instance in which studies it has been most used, or the conditions under 
wich the protocol performs best.

Cheers.
