[Psidev-ms-dev] mzML 1.0.0 released

[Eric D. <ede...@sy...>]

Hi everyone, I am pleased to report that mzML 1.0.0 has completed the
PSI document process and has been released. We encourage everyone to
implement the final 1.0.0 version. The information about this release is
still at the same address:

Although the schema is finalized, work will continue to expand the
controlled vocabulary, provide additional example files, and clarify the
documentation as ambiguities are noticed. And, of course, we will work
with those trying to implement the format in their software. There
already exist quite a number of software programs that read or write
mzML, so be sure to contact us before starting your own parser/writer;
you may be able to complete your work faster by using existing code.

 

Additional activities going forward will include contacting all vendors
so that they are aware of the format and trying to get a committed plan
for supporting mzML. We will soon provide an expanded listing at the web
site of implementation plans.

 

I would like to extend many thanks to all of you who participated in the
development of mzML. It has truly been an international group effort.

 

Regards,

Eric
