SIG: DAM: Data and Analysis Management: Standards and infrastructure for managing experimental metadata, Philippe Rocca-Serra, EBI
I like these standards talks! :) - Allyson Lister
Love it already. Dentist vist, tax returns and data submission procedures... disclaimer: really fond of the BII system so somewhat biased ;) - Oliver Hofmann
Like Oliver, I should also add a disclaimer - I am probably biased as I have worked on many of the common efforts Philippe is describing, so I have a vested interest :) - Allyson Lister
Even with ISA-creator and other tools I think most experimentalists will still need help (if only a few hours of a dedicated curator) to make sure they identify all relevant fields and terms. Still a large step forward as they identified (imo) the right target audience. - Oliver Hofmann
@Oliver - agreed. Isacreator is quite slick looking, though, which should make it easier for non-programmers to use :) - Allyson Lister
One additional note: the code that validates/loads/convert is structured in a way that should ease the job of mapping ISATAB (or any X-TAB) to object models and vice versa. For instance now I am using it for coding an SRA converter. The approach is drafted here: http://brandizi.webhop.net/mysite.... - Marco Brandizi
