 * Some ''Methods'' produce ''Measures'' with the same name, but not necessarily the same meaning: e.g. DaliLite/Z, TMalign/Z, ...[[br]]

 Thus, a ''!MethodMeasures'' relation is necessary.

 * A "!ParameterSet" is used to calculate the ''Similarity'' of ''!StructurePairs''. It is a collection of specific ''!ParameterSetOptions''. If a ''Method'' does not use any parameters, it is not included in the ''!ParameterSet'', but accessible via the ''!MethodMeasure'' relation.

 * The ''!StructurePairs'' relation holds all possible combinations of ''Structures'', and a link to a further ''Results'' file in XML format. This file may contain results for multiple ''!StructurePairs'', e.g. alignments, matrices, etc.

 * Each ''Structure'' is uniquely determined by its PDB code, model and chain. (Domains are not taken into accout yet.) The location of the PDB file is given and a link to a further ''Results'' file in XML format. This file may contain additional information for multiple ''Structures'', e.g. sequence, secondary structure, experimental resolution, ...

 * Each ''Structure'' is extended by further classifiction information from ''CATH'' and ''SCOP''.
