Microarray Gene Expression Data Society

The Microarray Gene Expression Data Society created the MIAME (Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment) standards for the description of microarray experiments and for the exchange of microarray data. 

The MIAME standard was created by the Functional Genomics Data Society, formerly known as the Microarray Gene Expression Data Society (http // www.mged.org), as an effort to provide standards to specify all the information necessary to describe and interpret unambiguously the results of a microarray experiment (74). The standard defines the contents required for compliance reports but it does not specify the format in which this data should be presented. As a consequence there are a number of different file formats for representing this data, and each public and subscription database has adopted its own format.
