contributed-data
Individual contributed data sets are stored as files in tab-delimited ascii format.
This entity includes composite data sets that we derive such as mpd146 (merged SNP data set).
Field names are embedded in the first usable line of each file;
for pheno data these names must match the 'varname' in the 'assays' table.
These files are not accessed by the live system except for downloads and to see individual
animal values. Project protocols and animal documentation are stored as static HTML documents.
contributed-data has the following fields:
| Field name | Description | Data type* | Null allowed? | Key status |
| Each data set has its own set of fields, defined in header. | | |
|
Notes
Contributed data sets may be downloaded from individual MPD project pages.
* Data types
If no data type is given, varchar[255] may be assumed.
As a guideline, projsyms and measurement varnames should be
short (~30 chars or less) with no embedded spaces.
For fields where a controlled vocabulary is shown, data type / char length
may be inferred from the enumerated vocabulary.
A data type of 'text' indicates text of unlimited length.
Content is stored in files; linkage is by filenames which contain embedded id info,
the particulars of which are up to the application. Data table field contains 1 if
there is text.
