TT26: Nicolas Le Noväre - BioModels Database, a database of curated and annotated quantitative models with Web Services and analysis tools
Lots of things are called models. He's NOT going to talk about HMM, Bayesian models, sailboat models, supermodels :) - Allyson Lister
Models and their description/metadata need to be accessible - Allyson Lister
Models have to be encoded in SBML and follow the MIRIAM guidelines - Allyson Lister
There's been a steady increase in the numbers of models in BioModels. There are about 35000 reactions and about 400 models. - Allyson Lister
Standard search functionality available from their website at the EBI (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels) - Allyson Lister
Can export in CellML, BioPAX and others (though the SBML is the curated, perhaps more "trusted", version). - Allyson Lister
You can also just extract portions of the models: these will end up as valid SBML models in their own right. - Allyson Lister
@Alyson: Sorry to be picky, but the abstract says: "Models are accepted in two common formats, SBML and CellML." :-) - Dagmar
@Dagmar - good point. I thought so as well, but that's what Nicolas said. Can we say it's his fault for saying the wrong thing about his database? ;) (If indeed it is the wrong thing?) - Allyson Lister
