thanks for the expert advice! i must admit i had no idea what went into picking an archiving system.
we are planning on building a searchable database for our data. (we are working with microarray data.) i think part of the problem is that we are not storing just images, but pixel values that are important for analysis. you bring up a good point about thinking of achiving in terms of what people will need to look for later and that's something that i will have to do some research on.
i should probably google "microarray archiving".
thanks for the direction!
