[Psidev-ms-dev] Updated Ontology File

[Randy J. <rkj...@in...>]

There is a new PSI Ontology File (for use with mzData) on the docstore:

http://psidev.sourceforge.net/docstore/view.php?sess=0&parent=7&expand=1&order=name&sortname=ASC&id=53&action=file_details

There have been no new terms added (there are 204 entries).  But there 
is now a definition section for every term, and the MS group is 
currently editing definitions.  Have a look and send any comments you have.

The file can be viewed and edited in the beta version of the OBO-Edit 
program:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36855&package_id=148487

or you can use a text editor...

The next step is to reconcile the ontology with the second draft of the 
IUPAC nomenclature (2006 draft):

http://www.msterms.com/wiki/index.php?title=IUPAC_Task_Group_MS_Terms_Second_Draft

There are terms which are needed by mzData and analysisXML which are not 
on this list, so any other instrument or data processing parameters 
which are desired by the PSI membership can be send to Randy 
(rkj...@in...) or any other PSI-MS group member.

The goal of the PSI-MS group is to update this file frequently, with the 
possibility of the human readable text changing to correct spelling or 
to adjust to IUPAC norms, but the accession number assigned to the 
concept is fixed and will not be changed, removed or reused.

Thanks,
Randy Julian
