Data Resource Diversity
Goal of ISA-TAB-Nano
Develop a specification to facilitate the exchange ofdata on nanomaterials and their characterizations
to/from nanotechnology resources
What is ISA-TAB-Nano?
• A standard tab-delimited format for describing data related to:• Investigations• Materials (Nanomaterials)• Studies (Specimens)• Assays
• Leverages and extends the Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA-TAB) format• Standard tab-delimited file format• Developed by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) for
representing a variety of assays and technology types• Example: MAGE-TAB
• ISA-TAB-Nano supports ontology-based curation• Nanomaterials and concepts from the NanoParticle Ontology
(NPO) as well as other ontologies
Uses and Benefits
• Address the data sharing challenges in nanomedicine• Provide a standard means for identifying
nanomaterials and characterizations• Enable the submission and exchange of nanomaterial
data to/from nanotechnology data resources ( e.g., NBI, caNanoLab, etc.)
• Empower organizations to adopt standards for representing data in nanotechnology publications
• Provide researchers with guidelines for representing nanomaterials and characterizations to achieve cross-material comparison

ISA-TAB-Nano Study File
• Provides mapping between the study samples, materials, and processing events
• Samples can be:• Biological materials• Nanomaterials• Small molecules
• For physical-chemical characterizations of nanomaterials, the sample is the nanomaterial
• For in vitro and in vivo characterizations, the sample is the biological specimen (cell line, animal, etc.)
• Horizontal spreadsheet describing the biological materials and association with the nanomaterials described in the Material file

ISA-TAB-Nano Material File
• Primary file for describing:• Nanomaterial composition and formulation• Physical properties• Structure
• Allows for:• Comparison of nanomaterials across nanotechnology
resources • Association with optional files; e.g., a Structure file for
representing the 3D structure of the nanomaterial• Horizontal spreadsheet describing the nanomaterial
sample, associated components, material characteristics, and material linkages
