Yes, it's a lot of different tables and info.
I think it makes a lot of sense to cluster them. I am not sure it
matters that much how we cluster them; the most logical clusterings
would probably be those that optimized the number of columns per ER.
With respect to the ones you list below, do they correspond to
specific tables that Lacey sent you? Or are you doing some mixing and
re-organizing? I think it's find to have physio and teeth together,
but testes would probably go best with morphology -- it is the same
type of data.
Thanks,
Susan
