Four Types of Database Storage for Study Data
From ICISWiki
1) Data stored only in DMS
- Field book data
- Experiment
- Nursery
- Trial, etc.
2) Data entered into DMS, which is warehoused (duplicated and
denormalised) in warehouse tables automatically in new ICIS tables
- Zeus web applications
- Data Selection Tool (DST)
3) Data entered into DMS, which is warehoused (duplicated and
denormalised) in warehouse tables manually (not associated with an
update) in data-specific tables such as:
- CropFinder tables
- SMTA
- COP Matrix table
4) Data entered directly in specific tables outside of DMS
- Genotyping data studies
- QTL data
Note: 1, 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive. However, data in 4 will not be in
DMS. 1 is likely to be rare and 3 will follow from 2 as a regular batch
update on related to a specific update.
