FuGE XSD |
| Description |
The FuGE XSD Project. The Functional Genomics Experiment data model (FuGE) has been developed to
facilitate convergence of data standards for high-throughput, comprehensive analyses in biology. FuGE models the
components of an experimental activity that are common across different technologies, including protocols,
samples and data. FuGE provides a foundation for describing entire laboratory workflows and for the development
of new data formats. The Microarray Gene Expression Data society and the Proteomics Standards Initiative have
committed to using FuGE as the basis for defining their respective standards, and other standards groups,
including the Metabolomics Standards Initiative, are evaluating FuGE in their development efforts. Adoption of
FuGE by multiple standards bodies will enable uniform reporting of common parts of functional genomics
workflows, simplify data-integration efforts and ease the burden on researchers seeking to fulfill multiple
minimum reporting requirements. Such advances are important for transparent data management and mining in
functional genomics and systems biology. See doi:10.1038/nbt1347 |
