title: Annual spring meeting of the Proteomics Standards Initiative 23-25 April 2008, Toledo, Spain.
abstract: The role of the Human Proteome Organisation Proteomics Standards Initiative (HUPO-PSI) is to produce and release community-accepted reporting requirements, interchange formats and controlled vocabularies for mass spectrometry proteomics and related technologies such as gel electrophoresis, column chromatography and molecular interactions. A number of significant advances were made at this workshop, with the new MS standard, mzML, being finalised prior to release on 1(st) June 2008 and analysisXML, which will allow protein and peptide identifications and post-translational modifications to be captured, being prepared to enter the review process this summer. The accompanying controlled vocabularies are continuing to evolve and a number of standards papers are now being finalised prior to publication.
