The implementation of an integrated communication strategy ensured the active cooperation of stakeholders while providing an organized and defined format for the dissemination of project-related developmental activities and the successful introduction of the vaccine.
Data can also be exported for custom analyses (e.g., for algorithms that are very expensive to computer power and time) and local development of new analysis methods and in various defined formats for use in external postanalysis applications.
Indeed, as the TCGA and other collaborative initiatives of this scope evolve and expand, it is not reasonable to expect that they will conform to a narrowly defined format or structure for the duration of the initiative.
There was an active group, led by David Brown [18] aiming to create a self-defining format for crystallography- Standard Crystallographic File Structure[19, 20].
Pktgen consists of a packet generator, a receiver, and a protocol that defines the format for test packets.
This document defines the format for literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's for implementation in World Wide Web browsers.
For example, it is easy to define a format for nucleotide data where gaps are coded as a fifth state or for binary data.
The HUPO-PSI (Human Proteome Organization Proteomics Standards Initiative) is a proteomics community organization defining standard formats for the data representation in proteomics to facilitate the data comparison, exchange and verification.
It defines exchange formats for the most common data types: biological sequences, sequence alignments, sequence annotation and references to data, resources and vocabularies.
Standardization requirements were identified as two different but linked topics: the need to defined standard formats for every data type - which has been partially successfully managed by the several normalization efforts (e.g. MIAME), and the standardization of metadata.
While we've determined that the NDI can be reduced as far as 5 items and still function adequately well, an alternative and arguably better approach would have been to re-word certain items or define new formatting for the scale and then re-test it in an independent sample.
