I am also working with MS data and would be very interested in a
proper MIAPE container. The difficulty here is that MIAPE is very much
a check list of meta data items and the variety of assays in
proteomics is particularly broad.

I would definitely also be willing to actively participate in such a
development.

By the way, the next Bioc dev meeting in Heidelberg [*] would be an
excellent opportunity to discuss and work on this.
Do you plan to attend?

Best wishes,

Laurent
