Data describing Research Resource entity

Definition

For MIABIS Core 3.0 purposes, Research Resource is a set of samples and/or data items used and/or analyzed in a common context in past or current research. A research resource may combine material from multiple collections and from multiple biobanks.

The Study (MIABIS Core v1 & v2) was renamed as Research Resource in Core v3 by Eklund et al. 2024.
