Hi all,

Currently the graphing metadata specification provides the basis for 
drawing two-dimensional line or scatter plots of data defined through 
simulations performed using CellML models. To distinguish multiple 
traces on a graph, each trace can be assigned a colour and for scatter 
plots a glyph.

In terms of a graphical user interface the current specification 
probably provides enough information for useful plots to be drawn and 
other clues/hints can be given in the interface to aid the user in 
understanding the graph.

In terms of model publication, I think the current specification lacks 
some information that is required for the complete specification of a 
graph suitable, for example, for use in a journal article describing the 
model. Also for model curation purposes it might be useful to have some 
more information about the graph.

So with the view of using metadata to sufficiently describe a graph that 
could be used in a journal article, I am after opinions on whether the 
current graph metadata specification should be further developed to 
include more optional information or whether something like this belongs 
in a separate specification that builds on top of the current graphing 
metadata specification? The former would seem more preferable to me.


Thanks,
David.
