Standards are hugely dependent on their respective communities
- Allyson Lister
Much of biological experiments can fall under an ISA (Investigation-Study-Assay) structure.
- Allyson Lister
You should then use three types of standards: syntax (FuGE, ISA-TAB etc), semantics, and scope. MIBBI is all about scope.
- Allyson Lister
Why do we care about standards? Data exchange, comprehensibility, and scope for reuse.
- Allyson Lister
"Metaprojects": FuGE, OBI, ISA-TAB - draw together many different domains and present in structure/semantics useful across all.
- Allyson Lister
When the independent MI projects overlap, arbitrary decisions on wording and substructuring make integration difficult. This makes it hard to take parts of different guidelines - not very modular. This is what MIBBI helps with.
- Allyson Lister
MIBBI promotes gradual integration of checklists.
