Interfacesbetween the entities we study: the paradigm moved from a physicalobject centric view toward a relationship-centric one; interfacesbetween tools: From the retrieval of the primary data to the fineanalysis of a model’s behaviour, one uses many tools, more or lesswell connected; interfaces between individuals: To build anynon-trivial mechanistic model requires to merge existing work andgather external expertise.If we want these interfaces to be generic enough to allow for anybodyto leverage on existing toolkits, a fundamental requirement is theexistence of community-developed well supported standards, but alsoopen resources where to find the “lego” blocks. Over the lasthalf-decade, several efforts have been launched in that direction,whether concerning encoding format, ontologies or databases. Some ofthem are now well-established in the field and play a significant roleto improve its coherence but also to increase the size and the qualityof quantitative models. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2006.10.1 Thu, 30 Nov 2006 15:13:38 UTC Open Standards and Resources in Systems Biology: collaborative scale-up toward virtual life doi:10.1038/npre.2006.10.1 2006-11-30 Nicolas Le Novere Nature Precedings 2006-11-30T15:13:38Z Presentation Biotechnology http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
