Topics
In 2007, the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative has reached a major breakthrough, with nine publications directly on PSI activities, thereof two in Nature Biotechnology [pmids 17687369, 17687370], and editorials in Nature Biotechnology and Nature Methods encouraging the use of community standards in Proteomics. Several other PSI manuscripts are still under review.

In addition to the workgroup-specific further development of PSI standards and tools, a major theme in the PSI spring workshop 2008 in Toledo, Spain, will be the planning of further interaction with the community in general, and journals in particular, to increase the public availability of proteomics data.

The following activities are planned for the different PSI work groups:

Molecular Interactions

In 2007, key deliverables of the PSI MI work group have been published with contributions from a broad range of authors:

  • Broadening the horizon--level 2.5 of the HUPO-PSI format for molecular interactions.
    Kerrien S, Orchard S, Montecchi-Palazzi L, Aranda B, Quinn AF, Vinod N, Bader GD, Xenarios I, Wojcik J, Sherman D, Tyers M, Salama JJ, Moore S, Ceol A, Chatr-Aryamontri A, Oesterheld M, Stümpflen V, Salwinski L, Nerothin J, Cerami E, Cusick ME, Vidal M, Gilson M, Armstrong J, Woollard P, Hogue C, Eisenberg D, Cesareni G, Apweiler R, Hermjakob H.
    BMC Biol. 2007 Oct 9;5:44. PMID: 17925023.
  • The minimum information required for reporting a molecular interaction experiment (MIMIx).
    Orchard S, Salwinski L, Kerrien S, Montecchi-Palazzi L, Oesterheld M, Stümpflen V, Ceol A, Chatr-aryamontri A, Armstrong J, Woollard P, Salama JJ, Moore S, Wojcik J, Bader GD, Vidal M, Cusick ME, Gerstein M, Gavin AC, Superti-Furga G, Greenblatt J, Bader J, Uetz P, Tyers M, Legrain P, Fields S, Mulder N, Gilson M, Niepmann M, Burgoon L, De Las Rivas J, Prieto C, Perreau VM, Hogue C, Mewes HW, Apweiler R, Xenarios I, Eisenberg D, Cesareni G, Hermjakob H.
    Nat Biotechnol. 2007 Aug;25(8):894-8. Review.
    PMID: 17687370

While the PSI MI 2.5 format has now been stable for two years, the controlled vocabularies are under dynamic maintenance and help adapting the PSI MI XML format to new data types. In this workshop, we will discuss PSI MI applications to antibody-antigen interactions, drug-target interactions, and observation of detailed binding parameters. In continuation of the focus topic of the last meeting we will assess progress in the provision of "gold standard" interaction datasets and interaction confidence scoring.

We also aim to finalise the definition of PSICQUIC, the PSI Common QUery InterfaCe.

Controlled Vocabularies

At the Toledo meeting we will present the beta version of PSI Validator framework that tackles the issue of automatically checking that experimental data reported using a specific PSI format and various bio-ontologies (e.g. Gene Ontology, NCBI taxonomy) or CVs are indeed compliant with the overall MIAPE recommendations. The semantic validator enforces many rules regarding the use of controlled vocabulary terms, it verifies that the terms mentioned exist in its source CV, and more importantly that the correct terms are used in the correct location of a document. This framework can be adapted to any standard just by customizing the parameters it requires: an XML Schema Definition (XSD), one or more CVs or ontologies, and a mapping file describing in a formal way how the semantic resources and the format are interrelated. At the meeting we will present the implementations of the validator to related to the mz.ML and to the PSI-MI standards. We aim to refine the existing PSI validator implementations and extend the validator framework to other working group; thus continue the effort of CVs alignment in the Proteomics Informatic and in the Sample Process group.

Mass Spectrometry

One of the main deliverables of the Mass Spectrometry working group is mzML, a standard for storing and exchanging the result of a mass spectrometry experiment. mzML is issued from the need of a merge between the PSI mzData format and the Institute for Systems Biology mzXML format. The public review period of the version 0.99 is behind us. We therefore target to prepare a release candidate ready to be discussed in Toledo, and hopefully be prepared for releasing version 1 by June 1st.

Prior to the Toledo meeting:
- Complete all final mzML schema changes and CV changes
- Update all current examples and regenerate specification document
- Have a release candidate of mzML 1.0.0 ready

At the Toledo meeting:
- Present the current state of the schema and CV
- Present the current state of software implementations
- Complete unfinished documentation
- Complete a few more example files and insure validation
- Create a fully MIAPE compliant example file
- Tweak the schema and CV only as absolutely necessary to support the desired examples
- Update web site so that all information is current
- Begin journal manuscript for mzML
- Prepare the roadmap and action item list for full and complete release by ASMS on June 1

Proteomics Informatics

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.

The main current deliverable of the Proteomics Informatics working group is the analysisML data exchange standard, which, at a minimum encapsulates the results from an MS, MS-MS, MSn, tag database or denovo search.

Work on analysisML started in the Summer of 2005, and in spite of significant effort from a small number of people a standard has not yet been released. In 2005, peptide and protein identification were the dominant requirements but other results such as quantitation data have become increasingly important since then. The current state is a draft release of an XML schema based on FuGE, using a model driven architecture which aims to support all types of proteomics experiments in a single instance document. There have been repeated requests for analysisML to be more general and cover non-proteomic experiments. It has also been suggested that we use separate standards for types different results. Finally, there have been comments that using a model driven architecture (MDA) is too complex for those involved in the development of analysisML and that this is slowing down development.

One of the goals of this meeting is to 'step back' and:
- Consider the current list of use cases - are these 'out of date' now?
- Should we aim to internalise all use cases into the standard, or should we break out into formats specific for a data result type?
- Should we continue with the MDA based on FuGE or should we switch to 'straight XML'.

One of the key deliverables from the meeting will be to produce a roadmap with clear milestones, deliverables and resources (volunteers!). Once agreement on this is reached, there will be further work on the schema, example instance documents, controlled vocabulary and documentation.

Gel electrophoresis and sample processing

The Gel / SP workgroups are developing minimum reporting requirements, data exchange formats and controlled vocabularies for gel electrophoresis, column chromatography and other separation techniques used in proteomics.

The Gel track has recently completed the MIAPE GE requirements document, and the supporting GelML exchange format, for describing gel electrophoresis experimental protocols. During the meeting, plans for publicising and implementing GelML will be discussed.

The Gel track is also developing reporting requirements and a data exchange format for the results of gel image analysis: MIAPE GI and GelInfoML, the former will be worked on intensively during the meeting. An early draft of a reporting requirements document for data analysis has been drawn up, which will be discussed.

The SP track has completed a reporting requirements document for column chromatography, MIAPE CC, and is developing a supporting data exchange format: spML. The further development of spML will be a focal point of the meeting.

Across the Gel/SP track, the sepCV (controlled vocabulary) has been developed to supply terms for GelML / spML, any outstanding issues with sepCV can be raised during the meeting.

Summary of objectives:

  • Discuss plans for publication and implementation of GelML
  • Develop MIAPE GI and sample instances for submission to the PSI process
  • Work on spML and sample instances
  • Discuss data analysis document
