Targeted biological samples
For our project, we aim to target one of the most accessible human bodily fluids:
- Sweat (still difficult to use as it is difficult to collect a quantity large enough)
- Sperm (awkward - many cultural, religious issues associated)
- Breast Milk (same as above, to a lesser extent)
- Saliva (Few Problems)
- Blood (Also practical)
- Urine (Also practical)
NB: There are also some internal bodily fluids (but they are not practical to use), including
- cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and the spinal cord
- synovial fluid surrounding bone joints
- intracellular fluid is the fluid inside cells
- aqueous humour and vitreous humour the fluids in the eyeball.
A full (and very long) list of the human bodily fluids can be found on Wikipedia
Open Dataset Repository design
- Web2.0 Service-like
- Open API
Data visualisation
- Processing-based
Data Analysis
- Data Analysis will play an important role in the second part of the project , that is the construction of the Web 2.0 Service
- More on our apporach to data analysis can be found on Data Analysis
