Goals
of the MIBBI Project
To
increase the visibility of projects developing guidance for the
reporting of aspects of biological and biomedical science
To encourage collaborative
development between such projects, where appropriate, to avoid duplication
of effort or competition
To promote the
adoption of consensus guidance on reporting by journals and funders
Structure
of the MIBBI Project
Managed
through consensus by a mix of community representatives and invited
domain experts
The Portal exists
to promote extant projects to the wider community (and each other)
and to link to relavant resources
The Foundry is
a project to synthesize reporting guidlines from various communities
into a suite of orthogonal standards
Discussion lists,
teleconferences, open-access development and meetings ensure openess
and accountability
History
of the MIBBI Project
The
MIBBI Project was initially conceived (with a different name)
during discussions at the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative's
2006 spring meeting in San Francisco between a number of attendees
with roles in relevant development projects from various domains.
The concept was realized initially through the joint efforts of
the Proteomics Standards Initiative,
the Genomic Standards
Consortium and the MGED
RSBI Working Groups. The project initially comprised those
projects whose representatives had attended the San Francisco
meeting but soon grew beyond that — a trend we expect to
continue.
