Obtaining the Current Documents and Getting Involved
The deliverables (XML schema, example documents, specification document etc.) of the standards released by the PSI-PI working group can be found on different pages linked below.
All of the ongoing work, e.g. deliverables and issue list of the versions being under development are managed in GitHub (see URLs on pages linked above!).
GitHub makes use of Git to allow versions of documents to be managed. You can get read-only access all of the files in subversion anonymously, or if you are a member of the group you can check out the contents of the repository, commit changes to the files and add new ones. There are many different clients that you can use to access and write to the Git repository. If you are using Windows, the SourceTree client comes highly recommended.
mzIdentML
The main current deliverable of the Proteomics Informatics working group is the mzIdentML data exchange standard (previously known as analysisXML). Please see use cases for mzIdentML to get a flavour of its scope and purpose (mainly storing parameters and results of a spectrum identification search).
Version 1.0.0 of mzIdentML was formally released on 20th August 2009.
Work on an update to version 1.1.0 of mzIdentML was finished in August 2011.
A very minor update to version 1.1.1 was done in July 2015.
More information about mzIdentML is available HERE.
Current status of tools that write and import mzIdentML are on this page.
mzQuantML
The other current deliverable of the Proteomics Informatics working group is the mzQuantML data exchange standard. It is intended to store parameters and results of quantification workflows.
Version 1.0.0 of mzQuantML was released in Feb 2013. More information about mzQuantML is available HERE.
Request new CV terms to the PSI-MS Controlled Vocabulary
To request new CV terms to be added to the PSI-MS Controlled Vocabulary, please use the psidev-vocab mailing list.
Meetings and Logistics
On-going communication between all participants will be achieved via the mailing list psidev-pi-dev@lists.sourceforge.net.
Regularly weekly telephone conferences are organised to allow discussion of the progress and direction of the working group when appropriate. Details of the next meeting will be posted here as soon as they are available.
The group meets face to face at least once a year at the Spring PSI conference.
Mailing list and Issue Discussion
- Please note that if you wish to comment on issues already registered on the Google Code Issue Trackers (mzIdentML: PSI-PI Google Code Issue Tracker, mzQuantML: mzQuantML Google Code Issue Tracker), you should reply using the tracker directly rather than posting to the mailing list. (Your comments will then automatically be forwarded to the list, so they will not be missed!)
