(This article was first published on <strong><a href="http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2016/11/new-paper-splash-hashed-identifier-for.html"> chem-bla-ics</a></strong>, and kindly contributed to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers)</a> </div>

<p>I’m excited to have contributed to this important (IMHO) interoperability paper around metabolomics data: “<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v34/n11/full/nbt.3689.html">SPLASH, a hashed identifier for mass spectra</a>” (doi:<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://doi.org/10.1038/nbt.3689">10.1038/nbt.3689</a>, readcube:<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rdcu.be/msZj">msZj</a>). A huge thanks to all involved in the great collaborative project! The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://splash.fiehnlab.ucdavis.edu/">source code project</a> is fully open source and coordinated by Gert Wolgemuth, the lead author on this paper. It provides an implementation of the algorithm in various programming languages and I’m happy that the <i>splash</i> functionality is available in the just released <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bioclipse.net/news/bioclipse-262-released">Bioclipse 2.6.2</a> (taking advantage of the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/berlinguyinca/spectra-hash">Java library</a>). An <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/berlinguyinca/spectra-hash/tree/master/splashR">R package</a> by Steffen Neumann is also available.</p>
<p>This new identifier greatly simplifies linking between spectral databases and will in the end contribute to a Linked Data network. Furthermore, journals can start adopting this identifier and list the ‘splash’ for mass spectra in document, allowing for simplified dereplication and finding additional information around spectra.</p>
<p>There are several databases that have adopted the SPLASH already, such as <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://massbank.jp/">MassBank</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://hmdb.ca/">HMDB</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/">MetaboLights</a>, and the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://osdb.info/">OSDB</a> published in <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://jcheminf.com/">JCheminf</a> recently (doi:<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://doi.org/10.1186/s13321-016-0170-2">10.1186/s13321-016-0170-2</a>).</p>
