[Psidev-ms-dev] HUPO PSI specification update MI-TAB 2.8 - 30-days public review

[Martin E. <mar...@ru...>]

Dear colleagues,



Please forward this request for public review into interested communities!



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).



An updated specification document of PSI-MI TAB (version 2.8) has been

submitted to the PSI document process.

Aims of format and update: The ability to display molecular interactions in

a single, unified PSI-MI XML format represented a milestone in the field

of molecular interactions. A tab-delimited format, MITAB, has proven more

suitable for users requiring a simple, human-readable configuration.

Implementation of these standards by all leading molecular interaction

databases has considerably contributed to data exchange, representation

and comparison. PSI-MI TAB format and PSI-MI controlled vocabulary have been

extended to include additional terms representing aspects of causal 
interactions

for the representation and dissemination of signalling information. PSI-MITAB 
2.7

has been extended by adding four more columns allowing the description of

signalling data and, therefore, updated to the new PSI-MITAB 2.8 version



Specification document, CV terms and use case example:

The proposed document version 2.8.0 DRAFT now goes

through a 30-day public comments and external review phase until May 30th, 
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 me until May 30th, 2021.



Thank you very much in advance for your valuable help!



  Best regards

      Martin Eisenacher (PSI Editor)
