Abstract

Databases which store and manage long-term scientific information related to life science are used to store huge amount of quantitative attributes. Introduction of a new entity attribute requires modification of the existing data tables and the programs that use these data tables. The solution is increasing the virtual data tables while the number of screens remains the same. The main objective of the present study was to introduce a logic called Joker Tao (JT) which provides universal data storage for cloud-based databases. It means all types of input data can be interpreted as an entity and attribute at the same time, in the same data table.

The first version of JT is a Hungarian product which was developed in 2008 (R.number: INNO-1-2008-0015 MFB-00897/2008) thanks to an INNOCSEK European Union application.
