title: Autumn 2005 Workshop of the Human Proteome Organisation Proteomics Standards Initiative (HUPO-PSI) Geneva, September, 4-6, 2005.
abstract: The autumn workshop of the Proteomics Standards Initiative of the Human Proteomics Organisation met to further advance the development of the existing standards in the fields of molecular interactions and mass spectrometry. In addition, new areas were addressed, in particular developing standards for the description and exchange of data from gel electrophoresis experiments. The General Proteomics Standards group is now working closely with the FuGE (Functional Genomics Experiment) efforts to define a general standard in which to encode data that will enable a systems biology approach to data analysis. Common to all these efforts is the field of protein modifications, and work has been initiated to establish an ontology in this field that can be used by both workers in the field of proteomics and the wider scientific community.
