In those cases, for example bqs, where the object of the reference is indeterminate or not of interest, it would be helpful to be able to filter metadata without having to have knowledge of the values (in this case reference URI schemes or identifiers) to determine the type of metadata property you are dealing with. Are you suggesting every processor of SBML metadata need to iterate over all isDescribedBy predicates and evaluate the objects of these and reverse engineer these back into some knowledge of what kind of description this is? cheers Matt > > > > -- > Nicolas LE NOVERE, Computational Neurobiology, > EMBL-EBI, Wellcome-Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1SD, UK > Tel: +44(0)1223494521, Fax: +44(0)1223494468, Mob: +44(0)7833147074 > http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~lenov, AIM:nlenovere, MSN:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _______________________________________________ > cellml-discussion mailing list > cellml-discussion@cellml.org > http://www.cellml.org/mailman/listinfo/cellml-discussion > _______________________________________________ cellml-discussion mailing list cellml-discussion@cellml.org http://www.cellml.org/mailman/listinfo/cellml-discussion
