During the hackathon, together with @egountouna and @ggrimes we found the heading "Anticipate the need to use multiple tables, and use a unique identifier for every record" a little bit confusing. We should consider rephrasing this bit. The paragraph talks about using unique ids to link multiple tables (in a database kind of style).

I think the text works, but it could be clarified and simplified. Leaving here with a "help wanted" label for now, hoping that someone will have a brainwave as to how to clarify the section.

- Record different data types in individual tables as appropriate (e.g. sample metadata may be kept separately from sequencing experiment metadata)
- Use unique identifiers for every record in a table, allowing linkages between tables (e.g. sample identifiers are recorded in the sequencing experiment metadata)
