Develop tools to facilitate the submission and standard formatting of mass spectrometry data for the [http://www.mascgroup.org/ Users’ Group for Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography]

== Solution ==
A [http://research.ng-london.org.uk/scientific/masc web page] has been developed with the following basic functionality.

* User login with predefined profiles
* File upload, for a defined set of file formats
* Parsing and reformatting uploaded files based on values stored in a MySQL database.
* Viewing of basic graphs of data
* Editing and checking of submitted files
* Download options for stored files.
* Help and instruction information.

== Further possibilities ==

* Develop database to actually store the submitted information and then generate files on the fly
* Improve process for finding files, possible search systems
* Output current library in addition to single files
* Define and document the "ontology" used
* Define and document the system to facilitate re-use if appropriate
* Allow tool to be used as a local formatting tool in addition to a submission tool
* Investigate which tools can be re-purposed for a more generic analytical data formatting tool
* Do we want to add feedback/suggestions/todo list type functionality to the system, or does this become more redundant once we have version 1.0?
