SBML Level 3 Package Specification: Hierarchical Model Composition, Version 1 Draft

Abstract

In the context of SBML, "hierarchical model composition" refers to the ability to include models as submodels inside another model. The goal is to support the ability of modelers and software tools to do such things as (1) decompose larger models into smaller ones, as a way to manage complexity; (2) incorporate multiple instances of a given model within one or more enclosing models, to avoid literal duplication of repeated elements; and (3) create libraries of reusable, tested models, much as is done in software development and other engineering fields.
