Concept and Features of Metabolonote
Metabolonote is a specialized database system that manages "metadata" accompanied with the experimental data of Metabolomics studies. This system aims to promote the publication and utilization of Metabolomics data by simplifying the metadata record process.
Structure and ID Notation
The structure of metabolomics metadata can be separated into several layers. Metabolonote manages metadata by separating it mainly into four layers, namely information about sample sets (SE), samples (S), analytical methods (M), and data analysis procedures (D). According to these layer structures, IDs are given to metadata. In order to learn more about browsing Metabolonote, check the rules for assigning IDs and information of how to name each Wiki page.
(Example) Metadata with the ID "SE1_S01_M01_D01" is described on the Wiki page entitled "SE1:/S01/M01/D01", which can be accessed through the following URL. http://metabolonote.jp/SE1:/S01/M01/D01
TogoMD: The Togo Metabolome Data Format
The hierarchical structure of Metabolonote is based on the Togo Metabolome Data Format (TogoMD) we defined.
Browsing Metadata
You can browse public metadata released on Metabolonote. The browsing screen follows the hierarchical structure of metadata. This section is mainly an explanation of how to view the screen.
Registering and Editing Metaata
You can register your own metadata by simply creating your own user account.

Advanced Usage
Use of Data from the External System via API
Use of Application Programming Interface (API) provided by Metabolonote enables other databases and applications to program access Metabolonote data.
Setup of Metabolonote
The Metabolonote system is released and available free of charge. By downloading and setting up core programs, you can install the Metabolonote system on your own server. Moreover, by creating your own personal settings for properties, templates and forms, you can design a universal system that manages metadata of fields other than metabolomics.
