MOTIVATION A vast amount of information about human, animal and plant pathogens has been acquired, stored and displayed in varied formats through different resources, both electronically and otherwise. However, there is no community standard format for organizing this information or agreement on machine-readable format(s) for data exchange, thereby hampering interoperation efforts across inform...

PNML supports any version of Petri net since new Petri net types can be defined by so-called Petri Net Type Definitions (PNTD). In this paper, we present the syntax and the semantics of PNML as well as the principles underlying its design. Moreover, we present an extension called modular PNML, which is a typ...
