The NormSys Registry for Modeling Standards


This registry aims at surveying standard formats for computational modeling in biology. It not only lists the standards, but also compares their major features, their possible fields of biological application and use cases (including model examples), as well as their relationships, commonalities and differences. This registry provides a common entry point for modelers and software developers who plan to apply the standards for their respective case of application, and serves them with detailed information and links to the standards, their specifications and APIs.

The information provided in this system does not claim to be complete or all-encompassing, nor can we guarantee any absence of defectiveness. However, we collect and assemble the information to the best of our knowledge and belief to to assist in selecting the appropriate standard format for your specific requirements. Please note that the system is work in progress and is constantly revised and extended. Any feedback and suggestions for corrections or improvements, as well as for new fields of applications to be included (with example models) are highly welcome.
