[Psidev-ms-dev] PEFF custom key-value definitions

[Eric D. <ede...@sy...>]

Hi everyone, another intended feature that is not in the current
specification that Pierre-Alain mentions is the ability to define custom
key-value pairs. Maybe Pierre-Alain can flesh this out, but from what I
gather, the documentation should go something like the below. Please
consider this and let’s discuss at the call tomorrow.



In order to use a custom key-value pair (i.e. the key is not in the CV) in
the sequence header blocks, it MUST be predefined in the file header.



The definition MUST be of the form:



# SpecificKey=KEYNAME:”KEYDEFINITION”:VALUEREGEXP



For example, to define a SecondaryStructure term:



# SpecificKey=SecondaryStructure:"Secondary structure element and
position":\([0-9]+\|[0-9]+\|[\w:]*\|\S+?\)



And then use:



\SecondaryStructure=(617|673|ncithesaurus:C47937|Helix)



Pierre-Alain, did I capture this correctly?



The regexp part will be tricky..



Thanks,

Eric
