Table 2.

Parameters table data fields: each assay was defined by one or more parameters, which were each stored in a row of the parameters table. All rows in the parameters table referenced an assay by DOI and ID. Other fields included: ParameterName, ParameterNumberValue, ParameterNonNumberValue, and ParameterUnit. All parameters had a name but were restricted to either a numeric value and unit or a non-numeric value

Parameters table Description
ParametersID Unique (within publication) numerical identifier to link a parameter to entries in other tables
ParameterName Parameter evaluated in the assay (e.g., dose, time, etc.)
ParameterNumberValue Numerical value of the parameter. Mutually exclusive with ParameterNonNumberValue
ParameterNonNumberValue Non-numerical value of the parameter. Mutually exclusive with ParameterNumberValue (e.g., natural light, a species, etc.)
ParameterUnit Unit of value (e.g., percent, millimolar)
assay_AssayID Reference to assay ID of the assay this parameter helps define
assay_publication_DOI Reference to DOI of assay’s source publication
