For model developers, it provides a simple means to register, upload and communicate models, making the models uniquely citable and the supplementary material of scientific publications interactive.
Driven by the introduction of the Systems Biology Markup Language [ 1], an XML-based language for communicating models between different tools, a large number of software packages now exist that simulate networks of interacting genes and proteins [ 2].
In this article, we first illustrate how PMP provides structural information for proteins by combining experimental structures in the PDB and theoretical models from various modeling resources, and explain how PMP communicates model quality information.
We identified common limitations across all Use Cases, namely 1) a scarcity of data for developing, evaluating, and applying agricultural system models and 2) inadequate knowledge systems that effectively communicate model results to society.
Communicating model results, including underlying assumptions and the degree of uncertainty associated with the results, to all interested parties.
Communicating modeling and simulation can often be difficult, especially when trying to describe the impact of assumptions and uncertainty to people not used to working with prediction models or translational aspects, or both.
A coupled model system, consisting of a distributed hydrological model and an economic optimisation model, communicating via model interfaces, is developed and applied to investigate regional interdependencies between irrigated agriculture and regional water balance and to identify optimised cultivation strategies.
- Be explicit about the working model that is promoted through training (e.g. child-centered model); communicate the model to make it more convincing; adapt the model to past experience and readiness of beneficiaries to accept new ways of performing; break down the model and apply it step by step, when necessary, for acceptance.
uses a visual modelling interface because we believe that provides the best way for building, analysing and communicating models.
According to Muetzelfeldt & Massheder (2003) SIMILE software: uses a visual modelling interface because we believe that provides the best way for building, analysing and communicating models.
