title: Proteomics data collection--4th ProDaC workshop 15 August 2008, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
abstract: ProDaC (Proteomics Data Collection), a "Coordination Action" within the 6(th) EU framework programme, was created to support the collection, distribution and public availability of data from proteomics experiments. Within the consortium standards are created and maintained enabling an extensive data collection within the proteomics community. Important elements of ProDaC are workshops held twice a year to allow communication between the ProDaC partners and to report the ongoing progress. The most recent assembly was the 4(th) ProDaC workshop on August 15(th), 2008, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It took place directly before the 7(th) HUPO Annual World Congress (Human Proteome Organisation). Work package coordinators and partners presented the progress achieved since the last meeting. Additionally, an EU official presented funding opportunities for proteomics in the next EU framework programme and five external speakers presented talks about their work in relation to ProDaC.
