Dear Scott and HCLS people we have a new format for BioSamples database at the EBI which models these relationships more precisely as derived-from. I agree that has characteristic is rather weak modelling of this reln. Derived-from can be used to model e.g. DNAs derived from a cell line, a blood derived from a person etc. We will be using this in the BioSamples database and its derived format Sample-Tab. We have an extension of the Limpopo parser for SampleTab under test. SampleTab docs here: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/microarray-srv/biosd/static/st.html Contact Adam Faulconbridge faulcon@ebi.ac.uk and Tony Burdett tburdett@ebi.ac.uk for further information regards Helen On 26/04/2012 18:44, M.
