WhatsYourProblem to WhatsTheAnswer
Our “What’s Your Problem” post will be transitioning to a “What’s the Answer” post this week and going forward. BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of the community and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end users of genomics resources). Every week we will be highlighting one of those questions and answers here in this thread. You can still ask questions in this thread, or you can always join in at BioStar.
BioStar Question of the Week:
…What is a good ontology for experimental results … If i want to publish experimental results, preferably via RDFa using a standardized ontology what would be a good source to use. I am thinking of a triple such as:
Protein X — Interacts with — Protein Y
Where the ontology would spell out “Interacts with”.
…
Highlighted Answer:
I would recommend formatting your data using the IMEx (International Molecular Exchange Consortium)curation guidelines. This will allow you to submit your data easily to any of the participant databases (DIP, MINT, INTACT, etc). IMEx uses The PSI (Proteomics Standards Initiative) Molecular Interactionscontrolled vocabulary. There is a PSI-MI XML/CV validator here.

the link to the question is wrong.
So, I think that you have made a good choice… it is better if all the questions are asked and answered on the same place.
