draft NCBI BioSample model - mixed clinical and environmental/food/other Damion Dooley Damion Dooley notes: NCBI doesn't quite make the distinction but it may be helpful to distinguish sample submission facilitator vs submitter/repository organization contact? So should we have a BioSample_submission_facilitator field and a BioSample_contact_information field? Damion's note: There are a few different kinds of biosample, and required fields depend on the type selected. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosample/docs/attributes/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosample/docs/packages/Pathogen.cl.1.0/ draft NCBI component model requires discussion
