Popis: Testing biomedical hypotheses is performed based on advanced and usually many-step analysis of biomedical data. This requires sophisticated analytical methods and data structures that allow to store intermediate results, which are needed in the subsequent steps. However, biomedical data, especially reference data, often change in time and new analytical methods are created every year. This causes the necessity to repeat the iterative analyses with new methods and new reference data sets, which in turn causes frequent changes of the underlying data structures. Such instability of data structures can be mitigated by the use of the idea of data lake, instead of traditional database systems.
