Table 2. Workflow Specification for the Four Use Cases.

use case inputs outputs constraints
#1 Mass spectra in Thermo RAW format Amino acid property in any format (i) Use operation peptide identification; (ii) Use operation Target-Decoy; (iii) Use operation retention time prediction; (iv) Do not use operation Protein identification
#2 Mass spectra in Thermo RAW format Pathway or network in any format (i) Use operation peptide identification operation; (ii) Use operation enrichment analysis; (iii) Use operation enrichment analysis only after peptide identification operation; (iv) Use tool ProteinProphet only after PeptideProphet
#3 Mass spectra in Thermo RAW format Protein identification in any format (i) Use operation PTM identification; (ii) Use operation PTM identification only after operation Target-Decoy; (iii) Use operation Target-Decoy only after operation peptide database search; (iv) Do not use operation Target-Decoy more than once
#4 Mass spectra in Thermo RAW format Expression data in any format (i) Use operation iTRAQ; (ii) Use operation iTRAQ only after operation Target-Decoy
