Medicel Infomodel is a condensed and generalized database schema which provides an organized model for over 200 object classes and their relations to each other.

Each object class has its defined properties which relate to properties of another data class. The information schema enables the integration of numerous different databases.

After integration to a shared information model, all data is available and comparable by searching one common database.

Currently, biological data is mostly spread into several different databases that are accessed over the Internet without a standardized method. Data coming from one database does not necessarily match with data coming from another database because of a different schema and naming standards or possibly, the lack of them. The relations of the Infomodel form the primary biological context needed to convert data into information.

To further promote the efficient accumulation of new integrated biological information, Medicel Infomodel includes data tables whose information is divided into three classes, component data, system data and state data.

Component data gives information about parts of the system, system data describes relations between the parts and state data describes the state of the system at any given time point. These three main data classes have to be logically separated for efficient interpretation of data, information and knowledge. In systems biology, component data translates to properties of biological entities, system data to biological networks or pathways and state data to measured data points.

Medicel Infomodel also supports the structured recording of metadata.

Thus, every step in a wet lab and every in silico process can be documented in the database. Thus, tracking of biomaterials and experiments as well as computational processing methods is possible.
