The PSI Proteomics Informatics standards group is a recent addition to the working groups of the Proteomics Standards Initiative.
At the recent PSI Spring Meeting in San Francisco, the PSI-PI group charter was discussed and agreed:
The PSI Proteomics Informatics (PSI-PI) standards group consists of academic, government and industry researchers, software developers, publishers and instrument manufacturers. The goals of the group are:
to provide a set of minimal reporting requirements which augment the MIAPE reporting guidelines with respect to analysis of data derived from proteomics experiments; to provide vendor-neutral and standard formats for representing results of analyzing and processing experimental data; to foster adoption of the format by highlighting efforts made by vendors and individuals that utilize the format in their products.
Role |
Current Encumbent |

The main current deliverable of the Proteomics Informatics working group is the analysisXML data exchange standard. Please see a document describing the use cases for analysisXML to get a flavour of its scope and purpose.
analysisXML is currently being developed using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as an extension to the Functional Genomics Experiment (FuGE) object model. When the UML object model has been ratified, this will be used to generate the analysis XML schema using the AndroMDA toolkit.
Further details to allow you to access the model as it is under development will be posted here shortly.
On-going communication between all participants will be achieved via the mailing list (psidev-pi-dev@lists.sourceforge.net).
Every four weeks a telephone conference will be organised to allow discussion of the progress and direction of the working group. Details of the next meeting will be posted here as soon as they are available.
The group will meet face to face twice a year at the Spring and Autumn PSI conference.
