Abstract

Mass spectrometry is the work-horse technology of the emerging field of metabolomics. Community-wide accepted data models and XML formats for data interchange such as mzData are currently in development. The information contained in these models is sufficient to create applications and databases in a model driven architecture (MDA). This allows to (re-)create the necessary code basis and backend database with minimal manual coding. We present an infrastructure to support the use of these data standards. It uses the Eclipse framework to generate Java objects, XML input/output, database persistence and a user-friendly editor for both the XML files and database content. A prototype of a Web frontend has been created to view, verify and upload to such a repository
