The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML): Language Specification for Level 3 Version 1 Core (Release 1 Candidate)

Abstract

This is the specification for Release 1 Candidate of *SBML Level 3 Version 1 Core*, an electronic model representation format for systems biology.SBML is oriented towards describing biological processes of the sort common in research on a number of topics, including metabolic pathways, cell signaling pathways, and many others. SBML is defined neutrally with respect to programming languages and software encoding; however, it is oriented primarily towards allowing models to be encoded using XML. This document contains many examples of SBML models written in XML.More information about SBML and this specification is available online at "http://sbml.org/Documents/Specifications/ ":http://sbml.org/Documents/Specifications/.
