Re: [Psidev-ms-dev] Referendum for 'mzML/runList/run/dataGroupList' in mzML (used to be dataXML)

[Joshua T. <jt...@sy...>]

I believe the original intention was to have a mechanism for denoting 
subsets of spectra; each subset of interest would be one "data group". 
I don't remember this being an essential feature, but one that would 
assist in processing, for example by grouping all "good" scans 
(presumably determined by some external program.)

Hope this helps,

Josh
