To achieve electronic documentation and analysis, an appropriate documentation model for anatomical schemas is needed.
Nevertheless, further empirical investigation is needed to assess the relationship between schemas and illness course.
Boissel's schema proposes that evidence from pathophysiology (biological plausibility), epidemiological studies and randomised controlled trials is needed.
Datamart schemas are not normalized and require more storage space but, as searches are focused on a specific topic, only a subset of the data is needed.
If a new knowledge base were used with a different structure, new questions schemas would be needed.
The schema rather than the data was needed, so our results are unaffected by the system being unused.
Currently, there are only five such schemas, while many more would be needed to realistically accommodate all potential users.
Multiple Representations: elements in a situation afford many interpretations, functional uses, categorizations and so on, so that multiple schemas, analogies, models or case precedents are needed to capture and convey the meaning of the situation.
Once a source schema is constructed, it needs to be mapped to the global ontology.
The MicrobeDB schema is easily extended so that users can add their own custom data fields if needed (e.g. SNP positions, regulatory elements, etc).
