@DougManuel  noticed some typos on a quick scan. Also in the ERD - Sample table has a typo which has 'ID' instead of 'sampleID'

- **Merging tables** : Merging tables into a wide table requires additional steps when a variable does not have an unique name (when the variable name appears in more than one table). For example, variables such as `dateTime`, `notes`, `description`, `type`, `version` and `ID` variables such as `sampleID` are used in several tables. Use the following approach:

- Variable that are not unique (they are in more than one table): add the table name to the variable by concatenate column names with `_`. e.g. `dateTime` from the `Sample` table becomes `Sample_dateTime`.
- Variable that are unique (they in only one table in the entire OMD). No variable name changes are needed.
- Variable that are unique (they are in only one table in the entire OMD). No variable name changes are needed.

- **Derived, summary or transformed measure**: These measures are generated to summarize or transform one or more variables. Naming convention follows the same approach as naming variable and category names, except use a `_` when concatenating variable or category names. Examples of derived measure the calculation of a mean mean value of one or more SARS-CoV-2 regions. Normalization and standardization are other examples of a transformed measure. Typically derived, summary or transform measures are not reported, rather the preferred reporting approach reporting the underlying measures.
