[Psidev-ms-dev] draft schema and sample instance for merged MS interchange format

[Kent L. <knl...@in...>]

On November 13th and 14th, a working meeting was held at the ISB in Seattle
to further the end of year goal of releasing (more accurately getting
formally into the review phase) an MS interchange format that represents the
unification of mzData and mzXML.  The meeting was a useful and productive
one, and thanks go out to those that contributed.  This new format is not
only a merger, but encompasses significant improvements beyond the two
existing formats.  Links to draft schemas and a sample instance can be found
at the bottom of this e-mail.  They are undocumented at the time of this
writing, but this will change in the near term.  In parallel with the XML
format, a new version of the MS controlled vocabulary is being finalized for
concurrent availability.  The new XML format makes heavy use of controlled
vocabulary to annotate its more flexible structure.

 

More detail is forthcoming, but this early peak into the merged format
should be a useful artifact to those interested in the upcoming standard.

 

Regards,
