2.Description and objectives

 

Focus and Purpose

 

The PSI-QC working group is composed of academic, government, and industry researchers, software developers, journal representatives, and instrument manufacturers. The main goal of the PSI-QC working group is to define a community data format and associated controlled vocabulary terms, facilitating data exchange and archiving of mass spectrometry derived quality control metrics.

Current projects of the PSI-QC working group are:

  • The mzQC format, which is emerging as a standardized JSON format for the exchange, transmission, and archiving of quality control metrics derived from mass spectrometry.
  • Controlled Vocabulary development: controlled vocabulary terms are developed in common with the PSI-MS and PSI-PI groups.

 

 

Goals/Milestones

 

  1. submit a perspective manuscript to a journal in the field to announce the PSI-QC WG √ (PubMed link)
  2. analyze and revise the mzQC format for submission to the PSI document process √ 
  3. re-evaluate the CV terms used for mzQC, and consolidate the location for these terms in light of the existing PSI-MS CV √ 
  4. establish the revised mzQC format and associated CV terms as a HUPO-PSI standard by submitting the standard to the PSI Document Process √ 
  5. provide and support relevant software libraries to support the developers to integrate mzQC into software for handling MS data
  6. provide use-case solutions for end-to-end QC with mzQC (target MS based *omics end-users)
