Add Tissue Bank ID field to biomaterial schema

[mshadbolt]

For which schema is a change/update being suggested?

I am not sure if this should be a part of biomaterial_core or only select biomaterials.

What should the change/update be?

I would like to add two optional fields to donor_organism and specimen_from_organism that would identify the name of the tissue bank, and the native identifier to that tissue bank to allow for consumers to understand where the same donor or specimen has been used across multiple projects as the biomaterial_id field is often lab specific.

This update constitutes a minor change to the schema(s) it affects.

What new field(s) need to be changed/added?

I am open to suggestions about the precise names of the fields but they could be:

• Field name: tissue_bank_name

• Field description: The name of the tissue bank that supplied the tissue. May be an abbreviation.

• Field type: string

• Required: no

• Examples: CBTM; HDBR

• CV or enum: no
  _

• Field name: tissue_bank_id

• Field description: The identifier used by the tissue bank to identify the tissue or specimen

• Field type: integer

• Required: no

• Examples: CBTM-364B

• CV or enum: no

We should also make sure the format of the accession is compliant with what the tissue bank thinks is appropriate.

Why is the change requested?

Create a 'tissue bank id' field that can be used to capture the id from the tissue bank which sometimes differs from what the contributor wants to use as the biomaterial ID but is valuable to capture

This would also remove the need for the specific HDBR accession field.

Having a tissue_bank_name and tissue_bank_id would be very helpful to in my work as well. However, for the tissue_bank_id, I believe it should be a field type of string and not integer.
