Figure 2From: openBIS: a flexible framework for managing and analyzing complex data in biology researchData organization and metadata.

Structured metadata will be assigned at the respective levels by using Property Types. Property Types are unique and can be reused and allow researchers to provide custom properties (or annotations) to experiments, samples and datasets.Back to article page
