[Psidev-ms-dev] CV File

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

The latest version of the PSI-MS CV file is in the document management 
system:

http://psidev.sourceforge.net/docstore/download.php?sess=0&parent=7&expand=1&order=name&binary=1&id=64

There are now 373 terms in the CV - there are many yet to be added from 
the IUPAC list, however, all of the definitions of previously existing 
terms have been updated with the IUPAC definitions.

We need to review all of the terms and determine if there are any 
redundancies or problems with term usage.  The OBO-Edit program seems 
helpful in this regard.

This latest version now uses the "part_of" relationship (defined as a 
'type' at the top of the file) to indicate that most terms a 'part_of' 
the ontology, and some terms have a 'is_a' relationship with other terms 
('Quadrupole' is_a 'Analyzer Type').  There are some connecting terms 
(like 'Mass Spectrometer') which probably need to be added to create the 
proper relationships between some terms and there are a large number of 
terms from the technical mass spectrometry literature which may only 
rarely appear in a HUPO file, however, since the IUPAC terms were given 
no relationships or accession numbers, it seemed wise to import their 
list /en masse/.

Take a look and post any questions or comments to the list or send them 
to Randy.

Thanks
