You perform a scientific experiment using a protocol (the procedure to follow) and a set of batch products. Batch products are physical instances of compounds.

Protocols Overview

A single result corresponds to the application of the experimental protocol on a batch product.

The set of results obtained using the protocol are gathered as an experiment in the Bio_Study element.

Important: Every result must have a related experiment (Bio_Study).

Project Administrators are able to create Results and Studies, using the following XML elements:

  • Bio_Study: Defines the study to create or modify.
  • Bio_Result: Defines the result to create or modify.
  • DAERResult: Describes an experimental output corresponding to a particular subprotocol. This must include a parameterResult value for each parameter of the subprotocol, Bio_Daer, in the relatedProtocol of the current Bio_Study.
  • parameterResult: Each Bio_Result must reference its Bio_Study Id and have a DAERResult subelement, containing a set of parameterResult subelements.

Results are added to an existing Bio_Study at any time by importing new results referencing the Bio_Study through the relatedStudy attribute.
