For the reproducibility and sustainability of scientific research, FAIRness (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable), with respect to the release of raw data obtained by researchers, is one of the most important principles underpinning the future of open science. In genomics and transcriptomics, the sharing of raw data from next-generation sequencers is made possible through public repositories. In addition, in proteomics, the deposition of raw data from mass spectrometry (MS) experiments into repositories is becoming standardized. However, a standard repository for such MS data had not yet been established in glycomics. With the increasing number of glycomics MS data, therefore, we have developed GlycoPOST (https://glycopost.glycosmos.org/), a repository for raw MS data generated from glycomics experiments. In just the first year since the release of GlycoPOST, 73 projects have already been registered by researchers around the world, and the number of registered projects is continuously growing, making a significant contribution to the future FAIRness of the glycomics field. GlycoPOST is a free resource to the community and accepts (and will continue to accept in the future) raw data regardless of vendor-specific formats.
为了实现科学研究的可重复性和可持续性，FAIR 原则（可发现、可访问、可互操作和可重用）对于研究人员获得的原始数据的发布至关重要，这是未来开放科学的基本原则之一。在基因组学和转录组学中，通过公共存储库实现了下一代测序仪获得的原始数据的共享。此外，在蛋白质组学中，正在将来自质谱（MS）实验的原始数据存入存储库的过程标准化。然而，在糖组学中，还没有建立这样的 MS 数据标准存储库。因此，随着糖组学 MS 数据的数量不断增加，我们开发了 GlycoPOST（https://glycopost.glycosmos.org/），这是一个用于存储糖组学实验产生的原始 MS 数据的存储库。自 GlycoPOST 发布以来的第一年，全世界的研究人员已经注册了 73 个项目，并且注册项目的数量还在不断增加，这为糖组学领域的未来 FAIR 原则做出了重大贡献。GlycoPOST 是一个面向社区的免费资源，它接受（并将在未来继续接受）原始数据，而不考虑特定于供应商的格式。
