Abstract
This chapter serves to expand the discussion of the prior chapter, continuing and summarizing our discussion of “multi-aspect” modular design in an image-annotation context. We focus on certain themes that were elided in earlier chapters, particularly the subject of (software) modularity. The current chapter includes a discussion about defining a proper scope for modules and the trade-offs between modules that are relatively broad or narrow. As a concrete example, we consider the range of data-types and features that may be applicable to image-annotation, and we consider how data structures and user-interaction patterns vis-à-vis bioimages compare with similar patterns in other bio-investigative modalities, such as flow cytometry and lab assays. We also continue from earlier chapters an analysis of one specific image-annotation format, the Annotation and Image Markup that was initially developed as part of the caBIG (cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid) project.
