Introduction
The Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) aims to
define community standards for data representation in proteomics to
facilitate data comparison, exchange and verification. For detailed
information on
all PSI activities, please see http://psidev.sf.net.
The protein modification workgroup focuses on developing
a concensus nomenclature and provide an ontology reconciling in a
hierarchical representation the complementary descriptions of residue
modifications.

Available data
The protein modification ontology (PSI-MOD) is available in OBO format
or in
OBO.xml. The consenus list of proposed short name for protein
modifications, establihed by collaborative effort of mass spectrometry community
and the rules of this nomenclature are available here.
These short names are also included in the ontology as synonyms of the
appropriate terms.
