Format for the specification of BioSimulation tools

Overview

The BioSimulators format for the specifications of a simulation tool is a JSON schema for describing the modeling frameworks (e.g., logical, constraint-based), simulation algorithms (e.g., CVODE, SSA), and modeling formats (e.g., CellML, COMBINE/OMEX, SBML, SED-ML) that a simulation tool supports, as well as the parameters of each algorithm (e.g., random number generator seed), their data types, and their allowed and default values.

The format can also capture a metadata about each simulation tool including its

  • Name;
  • Version;
  • Description;
  • URL for a standardized Docker image for the tool;
  • URL for documentation about the tool;
  • Citations for the tool;
  • Citations for each algorithm supported by the tool;
  • Other identifiers for the tool such as for bio.tools, CRAN, or PyPI;
  • License for the tool;
  • The authors of the tool; and
  • Dates when the tool was submitted to the BioSimulators registry and when it was last updated.

Schema

The schema for the format is available in JSON Schema and Open API formats. Documentation for the schema is available at https://api.biosimulators.org/.

The schema utilizes several ontologies:

Example

As an example, below is the specification for tellurium:
