[Psidev-ms-dev] base64binary issues...

[Linus <li...@th...>]

Hi all,
I am working on coverting mass spectrum data into the mzData format, and
have some problems understanding the way intensity and mass values are
stored. According to the mzData schema, these two arrays should be stored
as base64binary elements. Correct me if I am wrong here, but wouldn't that
make the data incompatible between different systems? I am working in
Java, and if I encode my arrays into base64binary format they will make
sense only to me. To conlude: Is there some definition in mzData on how an
array of floats should be transformed into base64binary format?

cheers,
Linus Göransson
