This chapter describes the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) from its origins. It describes the rationale behind and importance of having a common language when it comes to representing models. This chapter mentions the development of SBML and outlines the structure of an SBML model. It provides a section on libSBML, a useful application programming interface (API) library for reading, writing, manipulating and validating content expressed in the SBML format. Finally the chapter also provides a description of the SBML Toolbox which provides a means of facilitating the import and export of SBML from both MATLAB and Octave ( http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/) environments.
本章从起源方面描述了系统生物学标记语言(SBML)。它阐述了在表示模型时使用通用语言背后的基本原理和重要性。本章提及了SBML的发展历程,并概述了SBML模型的结构。它提供了关于libSBML的一节内容,libSBML是一个用于读取、写入、操作和验证以SBML格式表示的内容的实用应用程序编程接口(API)库。最后,本章还对SBML Toolbox进行了描述,该工具箱提供了一种在MATLAB和Octave(http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/)环境中方便地导入和导出SBML的方法。
