MAGE-ML is a language designed to describe and communicate information about microarray-based experiments. MAGE-ML is based on XML and can describe microarray designs, microarray manufacturing information, microarray experiment setup and execution information, gene expression data and data analysis results. MAGE_ML has been automatically derived from Microarray Gene Expression Object Model (MAGE-OM), which is developed and described using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) - a standard for describing object models (above paragraph adopted from the Microarray Gene Expression Data Group).

For more information about the MAGE-ML standard, see
