Re: [Gmod-schema] Chado 1.4 community input request: the image/eimage table and linker tables

[Sofia R. <sof...@gm...>]

Hello,

I use the eimage table with the chado expression module to allow for the association of cvterms with images.

I have not written any eimage linker tables.

It would be a bit of a pain, but it would be doable to change everything from eimage to image.

FlyBase has around a thousand or so images that have been annotated but are not in our production Chado instance.  For example, on http://flybase.org/reports/FBim0000898, you can mouse over the image and see the anatomy CV terms associated with particular areas or vice versa.

We have a few options, but we are leaning towards keeping  eimage base table as is, and creating the linker tables as _image.  This is the least disruptive option, as the eimage table already exists (even if it would hold all images, instead of just expression images.)
