Managing the data explosion. A report on the HUPO-PSI Workshop. August 2008, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The plenary session of the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) of the Human Proteome Organisation at the 7(th) annual HUPO world congress updated the delegates on the current status of the ongoing work of this group. The release of the new MS interchange format, mzML, was formally announced and delegates were also updated on the advances in the area of molecular interactions, protein separations, proteomics informatics and also on PEFF, a common sequence database format currently under review in the PSI documentation process. Community input on this initiative was requested. Finally, the impact these new data standards are having on the data submission process, which increasingly is an integral part of the publication process, was reviewed and discussed.
