The quality control workflow follows a hierarchical procedure and labels each occurrence record with an alphabetic code from A to H (Fig. 1).
Part of this 'low' percentage corresponds to the fact that our data integration and quality control workflow not only reflect the properties of the occurrence data, but also the resolution of the environmental data.
The Supporting Information Text S1, Figures S6 23 and Tables S8 11 also include general lipidomics platform characteristics such as internal and external standards used, calibration curves, dynamic ranges, recovery, variability, identification and quality control workflow, as well as illustrative spectra (MS and MS/MS) demonstrating how the specific species can be identified.
Several public databases already fulfil this requirement, but quality control workflows are not harmonized across different data repositories containing data from the same measurement technology.
An excellent case study for coordinating operational and data quality-control workflows for a high-throughput multi-site embryo expression analysis has been demonstrated by the EUREXPRESS project (Diez-Roux et al., 2011).
Sharing images between the healthcare organisations creates new challenges regarding quality control, trust, workflow management, legal issues, reimbursement and interoperability of electronic patient records (EPR), radiology information systems (RIS) and PACS.
For clinical biobanking, facilitating such integration involves huge amounts of work aimed at standardization and harmonization of data and tissue provision as well as efforts aimed at establishing quality control, certification of workflows, substantial and procedural benchmarks for data and tissue collection and management and evidence-based data models (Riegman et al. 2006; Mook 2011)).
The exome sequencing pipeline automates the analysis workflow (quality control and read trimming, mapping on reference genome, post-alignment processing, variation calling and annotation) using state-of-the-art software tools.
Additionally, we have developed a set of tools for formal quality control and extraction of workflows from CIF files.
Our study clearly shows that the various departmental systems are tightly integrated with quality control, learning and research workflows at the departments, and make a difference for the departments as a whole, for clinical practice and for the particular methods, diseases and patients that is provided care at the department.
These analyses generated two independent data sets, hereafter referred to as "platforms," which were processed through a statistical workflow for quality control filtering, missing data imputation, principal component analysis (PCA), and permutation testing.
