[Psidev-ms-dev] HUPO PSI Specification document Proforma v2 - 60-days public review

[Sylvie R. <syl...@un...>]

Dear colleagues, dear members of the Proteomics community,

The HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) develops standards for 
documentation and storage of Proteomics data (see http://www.psidev.info 
for an overview of activities).

The *specification document* *ProForma, Proteoform and Peptidoform 
Notation* (version 2, draft 12) has been submitted to the PSI document 
process. It aims to standardise the representation of 
proteoforms/peptidoforms supporting the main proteomics approaches, 
including both bottom-up (focused on peptides/peptidoforms) and top down 
(focused on proteins/proteoforms) approaches.

*Specification document*: http://www.psidev.info/proforma-v2
*Use case examples*: https://github.com/HUPO-PSI/ProForma/)
*Development background*: https://github.com/HUPO-PSI/ProForma

After having passed a 30-day review of the PSI steering group with minor 
changes, the proposed document version 2.0.0 DRAFT now goes through 
*60-day public comments and external review phase until February 27th, 
2021*.

This message is to encourage you to contribute to the standards 
development activity by commenting on the document. We invite both 
positive and negative comments on the relevance, correctness, clarity 
and appropriateness of the specification (e.g. is it presented in 
accordance with the templates and clearly written, is it sufficiently 
detailed and comprehensively described and are the examples in agreement 
with the specification?). Comments can be made on the specification as a 
whole or on specific parts.

If you do not feel experienced enough to comment on this document, but 
know colleagues who are, please feel free to forward this message to 
them. There is no requirement that people commenting should have had any 
prior contact with the PSI.

*Please send comments by e-mail directly to 
syl...@un... *before *February 27th, 2021.*

Thank you very much in advance for your valuable help.

Best regards.
