Dataset

Description

A dataset is a collection of data. In the context of databases a dataset represents the collection of entries in a database-table. In this table columns represent attributes and rows display the according values of the entries.


MitoPedia concepts: "MitoFit Quality Control System" is not in the list (MiP concept, Respiratory state, Respiratory control ratio, SUIT concept, SUIT protocol, SUIT A, SUIT B, SUIT C, SUIT state, Recommended, ...) of allowed values for the "MitoPedia concept" property. MitoFit Quality Control System"MitoFit Quality Control System" is not in the list (Enzyme, Medium, Inhibitor, Substrate and metabolite, Uncoupler, Sample preparation, Permeabilization agent, EAGLE, MitoGlobal Organizations, MitoGlobal Centres, ...) of allowed values for the "MitoPedia topic" property.

Example

A car dataset consists of 3 entries:

  1. Car A
  2. Car B
  3. Car C

For each of those cars the dataset includes information about the attributes:

  1. length
  2. weight
  3. color

The car names together with the attributes represent one dataset. A database can consist of several datasets. The car dataset could look like this:

name length[m] weight[kg] color
Car A 4.5 1234 blue
Car B 3.2 879 red
Car C 5.0 1000 blue


Terminology questions

  • What is an experiment? Do we have to re-define the term 'experiment', or distinguish various modalities in using the term?

  • In order to avoid confusion I changed the given example of a dataset. It was not a well chosen example.
