Provides an application programming interface (API) for managing variables associated with Tripal managed content. The Tripal Variables API supports storing any type of variable such as a property or setting that should be associated with a Tripal managed content. Variables are meant to store non-biological information only because biological data should be stored together in the primary data store (e.g. Chado). Be aware that any data stored as a Tripal Variable will not be made visible through services such as Tripal Web Services and therefore can be a good place to hide application specific settings.
