Generate specification for how to express a series of flow cytometry gates

[Yannick Pouliot]

Essentially, a minimal gating language that doesn't address the content of the gates, just the gate ordering and how they are referred to from the machine side.

From Kevin: "As far as interchange, I think GatingML is a good start for exchanging gates and the analysis definition, but I don't think analysis results is addressed properly yet or is even properly on ISAC's radar. We'd like to read/write calculated statistics (count, mean, median, etc.) that are attached to a sample, gate, and x&y axis. In addition, we'd like to read/write calculated plots for gates as well."

Message to Kevin: "I agree with the notion of GatingML being a good start. Q: can you list areas of weakness in that standard is deficient as far as specifying gates (i.e., this task:) ?"

"http://flowjo.com/schemas/chimera/ is the XML specification for FlowJo v10, though it is still a little out of date. "

Re: gating, looks like this is it: http://flowjo.com/schemas/chimera/client-engine-request/v.1/EngineRequest-v.1.xsd.html
