[Psidev-ms-dev] TraML extension to support inclusion and exclusion lists

[Andreas B. <be...@in...>]

Dear TraML enthusiasts,


during a developer meeting of the OpenMS developers the need for  
specifying inclusion and exclusion lists came up. This is a frequently  
asked feature to produce such lists for different experiments and from  
various data sources. The files used to encode and transfer such  
information to the mass spectrometer's acquisition software are mostly  
csv and tsv file formats, similar to those of transition  
specification. Of course different ones for different vendors or even  
different instruments.

The information encoded in TraML is very similar to that needed for  
inclusion and exclusion lists. Especially precursors, peptides and  
proteins and information about how they were selected, and so on.
It seems to me that the changes necessary for TraML to also support  
inclusion and exclusion lists are very small. (Except that the format  
name is a bit misleading, maybe TarML, for targeted experiments ;) )

I'll try to attend the phone conference today.

Cheers,
A.
