Abstract

The Human Proteome Organization Proteomics Standards Initiative has produced reporting requirements and data interchange formats for the proteomics community. The implementation of these increasingly mature formats was the main focus of this meeting, with extensions being made to many schema to enable encoding of new data types. The endorsement of the proteomics standards initiative standards by an increasing number of journals is a main driving force behind tool development and a recognized need to ease the process of data deposition into the public domain for the bench scientist.
