Fig.1.

A schematic showing the relationships between the core PiMS concepts relevant to the recording of work on complexes. The “1”s and “*”s on the red lines indicate one-to-many and many-to-many relationships, respectively. For example, a Construct belongs to a single Target but a Target may be a component of many Complexes. The icons are used throughout the PiMS user interface to indicate the relevant object types. An additional many-to-many relationship exists between Sample and Construct but is not relevant to the work described here.
