Java reference implementation for mzTab 2.0 for metabolomics

This project is the reference reader, writer and validator implementation for mzTab for metabolomics 2.0+ in Java.

mzTab-M is intended as a reporting standard for quantitative results from metabolomics/lipodomics approaches. This format is further intended to provide local LIMS systems as well as MS metabolomics repositories a simple way to share and combine basic information.

mzTab-M has been developed with a view to support the following general tasks:

1. Facilitate the sharing of final experimental results, especially with researchers outside the field of metabolomics.

2. Export of results to external software, including programs such as Microsoft Excel^® and Open Office Spreadsheet and statistical software / coding languages such as R.

3. Act as an output format of (web-) services that report MS-based results and thus can produce standardized result pages.

4. Be able to link to the external experimental evidence e.g. by referencing back to mzML files.
