In recent years, empirical science has been evolving from physical experimentation to
computation-based research. In astronomy, researchers seldom spend time at a telescope,
but instead access the large number of image databases that are created and curated by the
community [42]. In bioinformatics, data repositories hosted by entities such as the National
Institutes of Health [29] provide the data gathered by Genome-Wide Association Studies and
enable researchers to link particular genotypes to a variety of diseases.
