[Psidev-pi-dev] [HUPO-PSI/mzIdentML] Is mzid valid without spectra data in referenced file? (#23)

[andrewrobertjones <not...@gi...>]

My recollection is that a valid mzIdentML file SHOULD be accompanied by the spectra searched in an external file, but I don't actually see this line in the 1.1 or 1.2-draft specs. 

Should we add this line?
If so, 
1. all our example files should have the searched file alongside them
2. The validator should check that the file exists as referenced in the file. Even better would check that experimentalMassToCharge values match what is reported in the file, based on referencing system used. This would be tricky to implement beyond referencing MGF or mzML files, so arguable whether useful in practice
