Many, many thanks to the local organizers, in particular to Yoshio Tateno, Takashi Gojobori, and Kenichi Matsubara!
MGED meetings MGED 1, Hinxton, November 1999 MGED 2, Heidelberg, May 2000 MGED 3, Stanford University, April 2001 MGED 4, Boston, February 2002 MGED 5, Tokyo, September 2002
MGED 1 – December 1999 • 5 working groups established and mailing lists • Steering committee established • The first draft of what later became MIAME • Work on data exchange format MAML begins
MGED 2 – May 2000 • Intensive MIAME discussions, next draft • First proposal for MAML, the development intensifies • Decision to submit MAML to OMG • First proposal for microarray ontologies • Steering committee expanded
MGED 3 – April 2001 • MIAME 1.0 proposed, about 2 hour discussion leading to MIAME 1.1 • MAML has been submitted to OMG • First meeting with Rosetta to work towards MAGE by joining MAGE and GEML • Work on ontologies intensifies
MGED 4 – February 2002 • MIAME 1.1 has been published in Nature Genetics • MAGE has been submitted as a joint proposal from Rosetta and MGED to the OMG, MAGE developers meet to finalise the proposal • Decision to work on MIAME ‘checklist’ • New proposals from Normalisation (Transformation) group • Association with AAAS • Decision to incorporate MGED • New mission – to promote sharing of microarray data
MGED 5 – September 2002 • MGED has become an official organisation • MIAME checklist published and adopted by a number of journals • MAGE has become an adopted specification by the OMG and has been finalised, final voting in a week • First working MAGE/MIAME implementations
What’s next • Establishing MAGE-ML based data sharing infrastructure, pipelines between the databases • Promoting MGED ideas via talks, tutorials • Promoting and revising MIAME • Standards for proteomics in collaboration with HUPO • Raising sponsorship money • Expanding our outreach – new board members
