[Psidev-ms-dev] mzData - minor change requests

[David C. <dc...@ma...>]

Hi,
I hear from Chris Taylor that there is the intention to "polish off" the 
mzData schema with all the proposed changes at the end of this month. 
Having looked a little more closely, we'd like to propose a further few 
minor changes...

+ The "cvUserParamType" doesn't have explicit provision for storing a 
double (it has string, int, float, time, URI). It would be very useful 
for us if it included double. Maybe also the mzArrayBinaryType?

+ "mzArrayBinaryType" really needs an attribute to say what endian the 
data is stored in.

+ We would like to store information other than doubles in 
"dataArrayBinary" - e.g. charge state. For 'safety' a type attribute 
(plus endian) would be useful. We would like options for double, float, 
int and boolean.

+ It's probably been discussed before, but what will instrument vendors 
do when they don't have the required information:
    personType:  name, institution
