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

[Pierre-Alain B. <pie...@is...>]

Thanks Josh for keeping our memory alive!
Right. The use cases were:
1) point to spectra of interest within the full list and annotate them 
with some data (as you said, list "good" or "bad" scans)
2) associate information to only a portion of a spectrum (for instance 
charge states of some fragment ions, labels or annotations to specific 
peaks)

Therefore clearly optional, but specs need to be done in case of use.
