Interesting that it quotes MIAME (minimum information about a microarray
experiment) as an example of community-driven standardisation. When MIAME
was being formulated, it drew in part, and learned from, the history of the
PDB.
It is also a field where (I am told) the raw data really are useless without
metadata about the experiment.
