This chapter will describe our proteomics.net platform. This platform was
developed with three goals in mind:
� Create a reference implementation of the algorithms for the analysis of
mass spectra described in chapter 3.
� Create a reference implementation of the Grid approach specified in
chapter 5 to enable handling and analysis of mass data.
� Create an intuitive web-based user interface to allow easy usage of this
platform for us and our collaborators enabling research as described in
chapter 4.
During this work many other positive side effects could be detected, such
