Biophysical annotation and representation of CellML models
نویسنده
چکیده
Motivation: CellML is an implementation-independent model description language for specifying and exchanging biological processes. The focus of CellML is the representation of mathematical formulations of biological processes. The language captures the mathematical and model building constructs well but does not lend itself to capturing the biology these models represent. Results: This paper describes the development of an ontological framework for annotating CellML models with biophysical concepts. We demonstrate that, by using these ontological mappings, in combination with a set of graph reduction rules, it is possible to represent the underlying biological process described in a CellML model.

متن کاملCellML metadata standards, associated tools and repositories
The development of standards for encoding mathematical models is an important component of model building and model sharing among scientists interested in understanding multi-scale physiological processes. CellML provides such a standard, particularly for models based on biophysical mechanisms, and a substantial number of models are now available in the CellML Model Repository. However, there i...
متن کاملThe CellML Model Repository
SUMMARY The CellML Model Repository provides free access to over 330 biological models. The vast majority of these models are derived from published, peer-reviewed papers. Model curation is an important and ongoing process to ensure the CellML model is able to accurately reproduce the published results. As the CellML community grows, and more people add their models to the repository, model ann...
متن کاملA method for visualizing CellML models
MOTIVATION The Physiome Project was established in 1997 to develop tools to facilitate international collaboration in the physiological sciences and the sharing of biological models and experimental data. The CellML language was developed to represent and exchange mathematical models of biological processes. CellML models can be very complicated, making it difficult to interpret the underlying ...
متن کاملThe CellML Metadata Framework 2.0 Specification
The CellML Metadata Framework 2.0 is a modular framework that describes how semantic annotations should be made about mathematical models encoded in the CellML (www.cellml.org) format, and their elements. In addition to the Core specification, there are several satellite specifications, each designed to cater for model annotation in a different context. Basic Model Information, Citation, Licens...
