The published version of the PSI-MS XML data interchange format also gives access to tools which allow the user to both convert from mass spectrometry text formats to the PSI-MS XML format and to view and browse stored data in PSI-MS XML format (Pedrioli et al., 2004). 

Of great interest are the data on numerous M[Mv(OPri) ]n—derivatives of the 3 -elements Cr1", Fe", Co,Ni, Cu" [12, 501, 618, 818,1109,1462,1561], prepared by interchange reactions of MCI, with KMv(OPr )6. The other M[Ta(OR)6] (R = Me, Et, Pr", Bu ) homologs were prepared from the isopropoxides by alcohol interchange reactions. The data on formation of bi- and trimetallic alkoxoniobates and tantalates underthe conditions described in [12, 14, 501, 618, 818, 1109, 1462] was questioned. The products described could be obtained only in the presence of traces of water and were undoubtedly oxoalkoxides by nature. The mass-spectra of trimetallic BeAlMv(OPri)10 (considered as the major proof of their individuality [14]) have discovered only the presence of the fragments of [M(OR)5]2 and [AIM(OR) ] [1622, 1561]. 

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) An accepted standard format for the exchange of data between various companies networks. EDI allows for the transfer of e-mail as well as orders, invoices and other files from one company to another. 

The PSTMS mzData interchange format is being written to allow both the exchange of experimental data from proteomics experiments involving mass spectrometry and also, with cooperation from instrumentation and search engine manufacturers, to enable researchers to generate data in such a standard directly... 

Different techniques have traditionally been used to transfer data within the different layers. For example, OCSs typically may be interrupt driven or will work on the basis of polling for data, with each response being made before the next request is made. MES and ERP systems typically use transactional-based information interchange, where many requests can be outstanding at any time (due to the time taken to obtain the data and format the response). 

EDI-. Electronic data interchange, a host of formats standardized by various interest groups under ANSI to exchange commercial information of different types among companies who wish to do business with each other electronically. 

The indexing mechanism conforms to the standard RDfile interchange format, enabling data to be conveniently stored, searched, and displayed using any reaction searching software able to import RDfiles. Furthermore, the indexed file lends itself to computational analysis, whereby the indexed fragments may be extracted and utilized as the basis for software prediction tools. (Relevant application examples will be discussed in detail in Section 4.5.)... 

A major argument for buying all of the CAE, CAD, and CAM tools from a single vendor is to ensure that they all play together. In the past, this was a major concern because each vendor had proprietary data formats and there were no industry standard data formats. IPC, IEEE, and other trade associations have evolved standard forms of data interchange between systems. These have been adopted by suppliers, such that it is relatively easy to interface best-in-class tools from different vendors to each other.

On the other hand, lossless formats like Portable Network Graphics (PNG), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and compressed TIF images offer varying degrees of compression based on the data but do not compress to the point of losing data.
