Proteomics Standards Initiative

The Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) is a working group of HUPO. It aims to define data standards for proteomics in order to facilitate data comparison, exchange and verification^[1][2].

PSI focuses on the following subjects:

• MIAPE, Minimum Information About a Proteomics Experiment, defines the metadata that should be provided along with a proteomics experiment.
• Data Markup Languages for encoding the data and metadata.
• Ontologies for consistent annotation and representation.
