Place up to three profiles side by side. Compare their architectural role, lifecycle reach, and first limitation to test. No single standard covers every layer.

SDRF-ProteomicsMetadata profile
Decision lens
Compare roles before choosing an implementation.
The useful question is not “Which standard wins?” It is “Which job must this part of the architecture perform, and what remains uncovered?”
01
Start with the job
Decide whether you need guidance, a domain payload, exchange, semantics, governance, or a reusable release.
02
Map lifecycle reach
Use the matrix to see where each profile has a direct role. A filled cell is coverage, not a quality score.
03
Test the boundary
Read what each option leaves unresolved before judging maturity or implementation fit.
Assessment
Review lifecycle coverage and practical fit.
Read left to right. Lifecycle reach comes first; a maturity label never overrides a scope mismatch.
01 · Lifecycle reach
Where each profile contributes directly
Coverage shows a recorded role at that readiness stage. It does not imply end-to-end implementation.
No direct stage gap is recorded. Lifecycle reach still does not make this an end-to-end implementation.
Known limitation
It does not encode downstream statistical-analysis parameters or results. Working-branch templates and rules can move ahead of the final PSI specification, so release and validator versions must be pinned.
03 · Detailed assessment
Check the fit and source behind the map
Use the official source, version, and limitation together. A higher maturity label does not erase a scope mismatch.
Tabular sample-to-data relationships, biological and technical factors, replicates, instruments, acquisition context, and proteomics experimental design.
Best fitProteomics studies that need an explicit, machine-readable mapping from biosamples and factors to raw and processed mass-spectrometry files.

First limitation to test
