Ideally, as experiments are performed, protocols and metadata are recorded for each of the data entries and curated in ISA-Tab files. They all are imported into a common database that supports defined ontologies. Raw data can be exported from this database and processed with different scripts and/or software to generate analyses results, some of which are usually shared in a publication. All of the results can be saved into the database and the data and results can be accessed through an API to be browsed on and downloaded from the website named INTERVALS. The website also keeps track of publications associated with the studies.
