LibSBGN is a software library for reading, writing and manipulating Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) maps stored using the recently developed SBGN-ML file format. The library (available in C++ and Java) makes it easy for developers to add SBGN support to their tools, whereas the file format facilitates the exchange of maps between compatible software applications. The library also supports validation of maps, which simplifies the task of ensuring compliance with the detailed SBGN specifications. With this effort we hope to increase the adoption of SBGN in bioinformatics tools, ultimately enabling more researchers to visualize biological knowledge in a precise and unambiguous manner.
Milestone 2 was released in December 2011. Source code, example files and binaries are freely available under the terms of either the LGPL v2.1+ or Apache v2.0 open source licenses from http://libsbgn.sourceforge.net.
LibSBGN 是一个软件库,用于读取、编写和操作使用最近开发的 SBGN-ML 文件格式存储的系统生物学图形符号 (SBGN) 图。该库(提供 C++和 Java 两种实现)使开发人员可以轻松地在其工具中添加 SBGN 支持,而文件格式则便于在兼容的软件应用程序之间交换图。该库还支持图的验证,这简化了确保符合详细的 SBGN 规范的任务。通过这项工作,我们希望在生物信息学工具中增加对 SBGN 的采用,最终使更多的研究人员能够以精确和明确的方式可视化生物学知识。
