So there is validation in the sense that there is a true representation of a publication - which more often than not is pretty useless, and there is validation in the sense that the model can demonstrate what we think was intended by the publication (most obviously produces the right results) but perhaps many changes in the underlying formulation. Is it ok to only offer the former as a historical version? and should it be necessary to actually do the former if we can easily see where the math needs to be written out differently? _______________________________________________ cellml-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://www.cellml.org/mailman/listinfo/cellml-discussion
