Context
Definition
Context is a central notion in hEIDI. Basically, it contains identification results, i.e. a set of proteins identified by a set of peptides.
There are two types of contexts in hEIDI:
Search context: each identification result from Mascot, or from any other identification engine, is automatically “encapsulated” into one Search context.
User context: it is created by the user in order to gather together several identification results into a User context. In order to have non-redundant sets of proteins for a given context, proteins need to be grouped to generate “Protein Groups”.

A context have either child contexts or identifications but can't have both at the same level.
There are different reasons for grouping several identifications under a same context:
