Database classification

Experimental Metadata (Materials and Methods)

Database description

A database specified for managing information on experimental methods (metadata) which is accompanied with the experimental data obtained from metabolomics studies. This system aims to promote the publication and utilization of metabolomics data by simplifying the metadata record process.
Note: Archived data has been downloaded from the original site in 2016/5/18.

Features and manner of utilization of database

Separation of the management of metadata from that of experimental data has the following two advantages: (1) Multiple databases that stores experimental data can share the same metadata, and (2) the submitter can manage the metadata at one site. The Wiki-based recording system helps submitters to prepare metadata with ease. The system allowes submitters to attach additional information such as image files of the sample, movie files of tricky experiments, and hyperlinks to the related web resources. Such a user-centric design of the system contributes to accelarate publication of metabolomics data.
