Overview of the process of annotating TMAD samples with NCI terms. The figure shows the workflow for setting up TMAD to use NCI thesaurus for annotating tissue microarray samples. The scripts in the grey boxes have to be run once; they create the necessary tables to load the NCI-T in relational form as well as the tables storing the mapping b/w a sample id, its user specified annotation and the matched NCI term. The scripts in the blue boxes are run every time new samples are added to TMAD. The Browsing script (yellow boxes) is run when a user navigates TMAD using the NCI-T terms.
