[Psidev-ms-dev] mzData 1.05

[Chris T. <ch...@eb...>]

Announcing the delivery of mzData 1.05 to the web page, linked from 
http://psidev.sourceforge.net/ms/#mzdata

In addition to some minor code tweaks and name changes, this version 
features significantly enhanced annotation of almost all schema 
elements, hopefully removing as many ambiguities as could be found. If 
there are any that still exist, please forward details to me and I will 
add them to the issues tracker (soon to be established), to be dealt 
with at the April PSI meeting in Siena, with a view to producing 1.06 
there -- a version that should remain stable for a long time. We can 
discuss submitting that version to an OMG-like process to guarantee 
version stability to implementers.

The ontology work is now getting going. Details and a first version of 
the ontology will be published to the web site within weeks. We are also 
now very close to delivering the MIAPE: MS reporting guidelines for mass 
spectrometry. Watch this space for updates.

FYI, MS informatics and gel electrophoresis (wet and in silico) are the 
next areas to receive 'the treatment' (XML, MIAPE, ontology). General 
modelling, and ontology development are also of course continuing.

Cheers, Chris Taylor.
