Attribute tables are files containing tables that describe the relationship between two entities with one |
|
entity type on the rows (e.g genes) and another on the columns (e.g tissue types). The intersection of a |
|
given row and column is then a value defining nature of the relationship between the row entity and the |
|
column entity e.g. the qualitative score of similarity between a given gene and a given tissue type. |
I think we should make this more concrete, especially if we're asking for files serialized in .h5 -- my suggestion is that we adopt the AnnData format. Which is an h5 format that supports dense and sparse matrices and metadata on the columns/on the row identifiers in one file.
It might also be useful to somehow suggest that columns/rows use (or at least link to) some standardized id scheme.
