Further advances in the development of a data interchange standard for proteomics data

Abstract American Society for Mass Spectrometry 51 st Annual Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics, 8–12 June, 2003 The Protein Standards Initiative (PSI) aims to define community standards for data representation in proteomics and to facilitate data comparison, exchange and verification. Significant progress was made in advancing the design and implementation of a draft standard for exchanging experimental data from proteomics experiments involving mass spectrometry at the 51 st Annual Conference of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry. In collaboration with the American Society for Tests and Measurements, the PSI propose to publish this first draft at the forthcoming HUPO 2 nd World Congress in Montreal, 8–11 October 2003.
