This makes it easy to adapt the applications to new statistical analyses, metadata, and visualizations.
Modern-day Stasi files can be easily created by aggregating and analysing this metadata, which can then be indexed, linked to other databases, and retained for long periods of time at relatively little cost and hassle to the government and the telecommunications companies that they co-opt.
The DGSE allegedly analyses the "metadata" - not the contents of e-mails and other communications, but the data revealing who is speaking to whom, when and where.
"Plaintiffs have a substantial likelihood of showing that their privacy interests outweigh the government's interest in collecting and analysing bulk telephony metadata and therefore the NSA's bulk collection program is indeed an unreasonable search under the fourth amendment," he wrote.
Data-reuse provides tremendous opportunity to extract new knowledge from existing experiments, and offers a unique opportunity for robust, multi-'omics analyses by merging metadata (information about experimental design, biological samples, protocols) and data from multiple experiments.
In both cases, functional dominance of the characterized genes within a particular family has been readily estimated through phylogenomics analyses that integrate metadata from diverse expression datasets within a phylogenetics context (Jung et al. 2015).
Based on metadata analyses with a large number of point observations from published works, Manley et al. [21] concluded that NT is less effective for sequestering C on the Prairies than in other regions (e.g., in the southern United States and the Corn Belt), and also less effective with wheat than with other crops.
However, techniques are being developed to improve these analyses, once environmental metadata about the niche space in which the community was structured becomes available [ 47].
These data show that many of the proteins we identify in vivo as upregulated in highly metastatic tumors show corroborative evidence – from other papers and/or from our comparisons with gene expression metadata analyses – supporting their roles in human breast cancer.
