mzData is an XML exchange format for mass-spectrometry data and is created and maintained by the Proteomics Standards Initiative. The format is defined by an XML schema and an ontology. The ontology defines legal values for so-called cvParam elements to provide flexibility concerning new mass-spectrometers and their componentry.
An mzData format importer for ProDB needs to consider two different mapping problems. The first one is a relatively simple one: XML elements/attributes need to be mapped onto ProDB object attributes. The second kind of mapping is a little bit more difficult: we need to map ontology-controlled cvParam elements onto ProDB object attributes. An example:
