Advances in the development of common interchange standards for proteomic data.
The generation of proteomics data is increasingly high-throughput and high volume. Both experimental design and the technologies used to produce and subsequently analyze the data are becoming ever more complex. An increasing need for methods by which such data can be accurately described, stored and exchanged between experimenters and data repositories has been recognised. Work by the Proteomics Standards Initiative of the Human Proteome Organisation has laid the foundation for the development of standards by which experimental design can be described and data exchange facilitated. At a recent workshop in Nice, participants gathered to review the progress made to date and assist in pushing the process still further forward.
