2.Description and objectives
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 mzQC format, which is emerging as a standardized JSON 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 mzQC format for submission to the PSI document process √
- re-evaluate the CV terms used for mzQC, and consolidate the location for these terms in light of the existing PSI-MS CV √
- establish the revised mzQC format and associated CV terms as a HUPO-PSI standard by submitting the standard to the PSI Document Process √
- provide and support relevant software libraries to support the developers to integrate mzQC into software for handling MS data
- provide use-case solutions for end-to-end QC with mzQC (target MS based *omics end-users)
