HUPO-PSI 2010 Spring Meeting, Seoul, Korea
28-30 March 2010 (plus optional excursion March 31st)

Mission Statement
The PSI Spring meeting, now in its seventh year, is a hands-on workshop for the community-based development of data representation standards in Proteomics. Based on results of previous activities, the 2010 meeting in Seoul will focus on the further development of mzQuantML for the representation of quantitative mass spectrometry data, gelML and associated controlled vocabularies for protein separation, and PSICQUIC, a common query interface for molecular interaction data resources. The first day will be devoted to introductory talks and training sessions, the second and third day will focus on concrete, joint further development of the PSI standards.
The meeting registration is FREE, thanks to generous support from our sponsors.
