I thought about MALDI spot references and I kept coming back to the nativeID concept because of the potential for variability between vendors/labs. Some vendors might use ordinal coordinates to refer to a spot, others might use absolute measurements. As far as I know, these possibilities could concisely be encapsulated in the nativeID concept. It allows us to not force vendors to use one referencing scheme, just like we don't force them to use one referencing scheme for sequential (ESI) data. For Thermo, I might propose inclusion of all 3 coordinate types in the nativeID of a MALDI scan: <sample position, e.g. "H17">,<fine position, e.g. 62x-22>,<absolute position, e.g. 78701x29422> We could split the fine and absolute positions into X and Y coordinates (separated by commas, e.g. 62,-22,78701,29422) Did we determine a way to describe which nativeID format is being used? Are we putting them in the CV? -Matt Eric Deutsch wrote: > > Hi everyone, the PSI Mass Spectrometry Standards Working Group call is > Tuesday May 27 at 9am PDT: > > > > http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=27&month=5&year=2008&hour=17&min=0&sec=0&p1=136 > <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=27&month=5&year=2008&hour=17&min=0&sec=0&p1=136> > > > > + Germany: 08001012079 > > + Switzerland: 0800000860 > > + UK: 08081095644 > > + USA: 1-866-314-3683 > > + Generic international: +44 2083222500 (UK number) > > access code: 297427 > > > > The agenda will be to review and discuss what remains to be done to > finish up mzML.
