1. A computer-implemented method for inferring a condition of an analytical device based on at least one automatic notification received over a network from the analytical device, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a data processing agent, the at least one automatic notification from the analytical device;
processing, at the data processing agent, the at least one automatic notification, to identify one or more characteristics of the analytical device;
inferring, at the data processing agent, the condition of the analytical device, by applying the one or more identified characteristics to a model;
receiving, at the data processing agent, at least one item of annotation data via the network;
associating, at the data processing agent, the at least one item of annotation data with the at least one automatic notification;
inferring the condition of the analytical device based, additionally, on the association between the at least one item of annotation data with the at least one automatic notification; and
generating, at the data processing agent, a notification reporting the inferred condition of the analytical device.
