• Whatever the kind of experiment, this assumes a design of experiment
(DoE) involving individuals, samples or whatever things, as the main
objects of study (e.g. plants, tissues, bacteria, …)
• This also assumes the observation of dependent variables resulting of
effects of some controlled experimental factors.
• Moreover, the objects of study have usually an identifier for each of
them, and the variables can be quantitative or qualitative.
• We can have either one object type of study or several kinds, but in
this latter case, it must exist a relationship between object types that
we assume of “obtainedFrom" type.

Data subsets files and their associated metadata files must be compliant
with the TSV standard (Tab-Separator-Values)
• You have to organize your data subsets so that links could be established between them.
• In practical, it means to add a column containing the identifiers corresponding to the entity
to which you want to connect the subset, implying a ‘obtainedFrom’ relation.
• It is to be noted that this duplication of identifiers must be the only redundant
information, through all data subsets.

Supplementary files
In order to allow data to be explored and mined, we have to adjoin some
minimal but relevant metadata:
For that, 2 metadata files are required
• s_subsets.tsv: a file allowing to associate with each subset of data a key
concept corresponding to the main entity of the subset and the relations
of the type "obtainedFrom" between these concepts
• a_attributes.tsv: a metadata file allowing each attribute
(concept/variable) to be annotated with some minimal but relevant
metadata

Data subsets files and their associated metadata files must be compliant with the TSV standard (Tab-Separator-Values)Note:
TSV is an alternative to the common comma-separated values (CSV) format, which often causes difficulties because of the need to escape commas

To summarize
1. Preparation and cleaning of the data sub-sets of files
2. Classification of each column within its right category
3. Connections between the dataset files based on identifiers
4. Creation of the definition files namely s_subsets.tsv and a_attributes.tsv
5. Deposit of the dataset files in the data repository
6. Checking online if your the data subset files are consistent
7. Testing online the web-services on your dataset
8. Use of the web API through an application layer (R scripts, data explorer, ... )

Data subsets files and their associated metadata files must be
compliant with the TSV standard (Tab-Separator-Values)
Note:
TSV is an alternative to the common comma-separated values (CSV) format, which often causes difficulties because of the need to escape commas
(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values)

Advantages of this approach
data sharing & data availability
- The array of the "plants" may be created even before planting the seeds.
- Similarly, the array of the "harvests" can be created as soon as the harvests are done,
and this before any analysis.
- Thus, these arrays are generated only once in the project and we can set up the
sharing soon the seed planting. Then each analysis comes to complement the set of
data as soon as they produce their own sub-dataset.
- data are accessible to everyone as soon as they are produced,
identifiers centrally managed
- data are archived and compiled, so that it becomes useless to proceed a laborious
investigation to find out who possesses the right identifiers, etc.

facilitate the subsequent publication of data
- data are already readily available online by web API,
- But nothing prevents to take this data to fill in existing databases, by adjoining more
elaborate annotations.
- Neither administrator privileges nor any programmatic skills are required

- Based on TSV: choice to keep the good old way of scientist to use
worksheets, thus i) using the same tool for both data files and metadata
definition files, ii) no programmatic skill are required
