Built around the ‘Investigation’ (the project context), ‘Study’ (a unit of research) and ‘Assay’ (analytical measurement) general-purpose Tabular format, the ISA tools helps you to provide rich description of the experimental metadata (i.e. sample characteristics, technology and measurement types, sample-to-data relationships) so that the resulting data and discoveries are reproducible and reusable.

The ISA REST service is a restful web service to interact with the ISA API. This service needs to import the isatools package published on PyPI. We strongly suggest you check out the ISA API project first before trying out this REST service.
