Mass data interchange formats

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]. 

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... 

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.
