The PSI Quality Control workgroup is one of the working groups of the Proteomics Standards Initiative.
Quality Control Group Charter
Focus and Purpose
The PSI-QC working group is composed of academic, government, and industry researchers, software developers, journal representatives, and instrument manufacturers. The main goal of the PSI-QC working group is to define a community data format and associated controlled vocabulary terms, facilitating data exchange and archiving of mass spectrometry derived quality control metrics.
Current projects of the PSI-QC working group are:
- The qcML format, which has been developed as a standardized format for the exchange, transmission, and archiving of quality control metrics derived from mass spectrometry.
- Controlled Vocabulary development: controlled vocabulary terms are developed in common with the PSI-MS and PSI-PI groups.
Goals/Milestones
-
submit a perspective manuscript to a journal in the field to announce the PSI-QC WG √ (PubMed link)
-
analyze and revise the already published qcML format for submission to the PSI document process √
-
re-evaluate the CV terms used for qcML, and consolidate the location for these terms in light of the existing PSI-MS CV √
-
adapt the already published jqcML library to handle the updates to qcML and the CV terms; implement validation
-
implement qcML output from several freely available quality metric tools (e.g., QuaMeter, OpenMS)
-
establish the revised qcML format and associated CV terms as a HUPO-PSI standard, by submitting the standard to the PSI Document Process
