Analytical Data Interchange standards

The electronic notebook space approaches will only work effectively if the new form of notebook is kept in a way that promotes understandability by other persons. This requires a consistent, logical, and complete presentation of all work. Carefully crafted abstracts are necessary. An annotated dictionary of terms is essential. Some degree of standardization in format is required. And adherence to a common data format, such as the Analytical Data Interchange Standard/Analytical Instrument Manufacturers Association (ADISS/AIM) standard, would be helpful. However, the new electronic journal needs to be much more if it is to serve individual, group, and corporate needs in unique ways. The future is a foreign country, they do things differently there. 

ASTM International, Standard specification for analytical data interchange protocol for chromatographic data. Tech. Rep. E1947-98, ASTM, West Conshohocken, PA (1998). 

In 2009, ASTM Standard E1947-98 (2009) Standard Specification for Analytical Data Interchange Protocol for Chromatographic Data has been published by the ASTM. The specified objectives of this standard are... 

The Analytical Instrument Association (AIA) created a netCDF-based Analytical Data Interchange (ANDI) format for chromatography that received widespread acceptance. After this success, the AIA adopted a standard for mass spectroscopy in 1993 and began definitions for infrared and NMR. This mass spectroscopy standard, although supported by a few vendors, has not received wide usage and the infrared and NMR definitions have not been implemented.
