Abstract :
The pool of molecular interaction data is growing fast but nevertheless remains fragmented. Combining together data coming from heterogeneous sources is a crucial step towards a deeper understanding of the cell machinery. The Proteomics Standard Initiative offers mature standards (PSI-MI) to facilitate the exchange and analysis of molecular interaction data. After introducing the details of the latest version of the PSI-MI data model, we will present the implementation of PSI-MI in the IntAct project, which offers a platform for management and analysis of interaction data. Finally we will give some insight into realistically using molecular interaction data as a foundation for other research
