2014 Duke CFAR Flow Cytometry Workshop Data Standards and Annotation
What standards currently exist? • International Society for the Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) Data Standards Task Force (DSTF): • Data file standards • Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) – version FCS 3.1 • Gating ML • Calibration and Measurement Standards • Instrument calibration • Fluorescence intensity calibrations • Molecules of Equivalent Soluble Fluorescence (MESF) • Antibody Binding Capacity (ABC) • Equivalent Reference Fluorophore (ERF) • Counting Standards • Immunophenotyping • Clinical cytometry standards • MIFlowCyt: the minimum information about a Flow Cytometry Experiment • Requirement for Cytometry publication • Training and Education • International Cytometry Certification Examination • Flow Cytometry: • International Cytometry Certification Examination • Optimized ImmunoPhenotyping Panel (OMIP) • Bioinformatics Standards for Flow Cytometry – working group • Cellular Assays: • Biosafety • Biosafety in Microbiological Laboratories • OSHA Bloodborne pathogens • Risk Group and Biosafety Level Definitions • Pathogen Safety Database • Biological Risk Assessment Generic Form (CDCs) • World Health Organization Laboratory Safety Manual • ISAC Biosafety Standard for Sorting Unfixed Cells • “Miata” Minimal Information about T Cell Assays

What is Annotation? • Webster’s dictionary: • Annotation: • a note added by way of comment or explanation • Wikipedia: • An annotation is a note that is made while reading any form of text. • These notes.. establishes a summary for and expresses the relevance of each source..
Why is it significant? • A statistian can quickly batch analyze a large amount of information • Data management: Metadata • Data about data. Metadata describes how and when and by whom a particular set of data was collected, and how the data is formatted. Metadata is essential for understanding information stored in data warehouses and has become increasingly important in XML-based Web applications. • Tracking • Easily track which experiments/data are relevant • Repository within a particular institution • Institutions are interested in archiving data
Goal of Data Annotation • John Altman: “…to include enough information within the FCS file to allow someone else to make sense of the data without requiring cross-references to your notebook.” - Another operator - Researcher - Investigator - Study Monitor - Auditor
Example of how not to annotate data No annotation of experiment: What’s in the experiment? No Annotation of data files: Which file is which? Where are the controls?
Data Annotation - for all 143,280 data points! Study ID Method Assay Name Batch # Operator Sample ID Visit ID Accession # % Viable (Flow) % Viable (Guava) Recovery CD4 count CD8 count Gate Name (Parameter Names) Tube Name File Name • Checking: • X1 - for electronic data • X3 - for manual entry • Requires STRONG statistical support: • Quickly exceeds limits of excel • Format data for statistical analysis • FJ: column (gates) vs row (file) • CSV: column (identifiers) vs row (single value) • Check data • Manual check: 8sec/value x 143280 = 49 days!!!

Keywords • a word that serves as a key, as to the meaning of another word, a sentence, passage, or the like: Search the database for the keyword “Ireland.” • Keywords can be entered into the data of a data file for easy searching within a database
