- Xa: Layers should list both who did the curation and who did the QC, and on what date. Right now this info resided in the dataset but different folks might curate different layers. More: we should say "processedBy" and agree that for all data we will have a curated layer, qced layer, etc... and use references to refer to the layer that was input to the process step.
- Matt: We also need a new field for "platformVendor", but this value should come from a controlled vocabulary. (The analogy here is that this is the make of the car.) This set should include:
- Affymetrix
- Agillent
- Illumina
- Perligen
- Nimblegen
- Custom
- Matt: We also need to think more carefully about the values we are using for "platform". BioConductor has a list of these that we might use as our controlled vocabulary. (The analogy here is that this is the model of the car.)
- Adam: nothing should be called "clinical" layer or "C" since that is too specific. It should be "phenotypic" layer or "P".

The JsonSchema is an emerging standard similar to DTDs for XML.
