METADATA REPRESENTATION AND STORAGE

摘要

At least one original data set is obtained. Header type metadata is extracted from the original data set and the extracted header type metadata is stored in a document-oriented database. Content type metadata is extracted from the original data set and the extracted content type metadata is stored in a table-structured database. The original data set is stored in a data store. The document-oriented database comprises one or more links to access the content type metadata in the table-structured database and the original data set in the data store. By way of example only, the data storage techniques may be used for bioinformatics applications.
