| In this poster, we present our experience with techniques for the management of bio-models (i.e. XML-encoded computational models of biological systems) in repositories. These techniques support users to find, access, adapt and then re-submit models - tasks which are essential for the reuse of models in systems biology. Here, we focus on model retrieval, the ranking of search results and concepts to track the history of a model through version control. These concepts have so far not been sufficiently addressed in existing systems.
To validate our techniques, we have been implemented a framework called Sombi. The underlying database called mDB is tailored towards a fine-grained storage of the model and its annotations. The design is... |
