Pan-ReDU makes metadata shareable, searchable, and filterable via interactive web interfaces, simplifying the selection of relevant subsets of public data. Some metadata information such as taxonomy, sample type, and year of analysis are more commonly captured by the metabolomics community, while more granular and controlled vocabularies such as longitude and latitude, human population density, and build environment are less frequently documented, as less of these data is publicly deposited (Figure ). This can be explained in part by the relative differences in research community sizes. Furthermore, Pan-ReDU improves accessibility by integrating computational tools that streamline the diverse download mechanisms of the different repositories. Additionally, it enhances interoperability by converting raw MS data to the open .mzML format . Finally, Pan-ReDU converts metadata information to formats supported by downstream analysis tools like GNPS Molecular Networking and the Sample and Data Relationship Format (SDRF-Proteomics) . By utilizing public ontologies, the reusability of metadata terms is ensured, enabling Pan-ReDU to adapt to evolving scientific terminology and reanalysis needs. This holistic approach aims to streamline the handling of public metabolomics data.
