A flexible information structure

There are two conflicting requirements for information management in biobanks. The information associated with the samples is as valuable as the samples themselves: the usefulness of one depends on the other. On one hand, biobanks need to be able to define the associated information structure, flexibly, without the need for intervention from the software provider. On the other hand, the harmonization of information means there need to be controls on this flexibility.
