improving metadata annotations

A thorough description of the complex annotation within the .smbl-files can be found in the Metadata section. The scope of this particular section was to identify possible shortcomings of the MIRIAM-annotation, that is used in the .sbml-language. As illustrated in figure 1 the guidelines for the general idea of the MIRIAM annotation is to bundle the references, model information and the annotations in one comprehensive tool.


Figure 1: According to [1] the MIRIAM guidelines are composed of three parts: 1. Reference correspondence, 2. Attribution annotation, and 3. External resource annotation.


annotation tools

There are different ways of accessing the metadata knitted in the *.sbml-files. You could use

  • Notepad ++, v8.1, a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Here you would only want to make minor channges e.g. correcting URLs oder vCards as you do not have a front end editor.
  • SemanticSBML, a tool published in 2009 under GNU public license with a mighty range of MIRIAM-compliant annotation options as describes in [2]. Unfortunately the URL seems to be no longer available.
  • COPASI, v4.33.246, a biochemical system simulator but your annotations will only be readable within Copasi itself and therefore lack interoperability.
