This is my view of where things should be heading: The main impetus for this thread is moving the cellml.org site forward. In this sense I would like to see a description of what it currently does and what features have been informally slated. Then I'd like to see a document that re-writes these

My $0.02 on this is (please forgive me if I get some of the technical stuff mixed up): The current naming scheme is as it translates to the web address is: author(s)_date_versionXX_variantXX I think it should be author(s)_date_variantXX_versionXX instead, since IMO, one should be thinking in

Do we really want to proxy remote repositories? Can we start smaller for now but keep that in mind? I think this will be an essential feature of the model repository as we move forward. We are trying to present model authors with a common platform for the distribution and archiving of their

It might also be worth looking into what the folks over at http://www.biomodels.net/ are up to. Given they seem to have curation built into their repository and maybe some other features worth looking into? And if we're going to be starting from scratch, there might be some value into seeing

Hi Tommy, looks like a good starting point for some discussion. Just to help me think through some of the issues, is there any chance you could add a usage example illustrating how this system would deal with a model made from the combination of a bunch of papers (i.e., a single model where

Hi Tommy, I found the document seemed to be too far ahead of itself. I also didn't find any of the pros and cons very compelling because they don't address specific problems and those problems are not described. 1) What are you actually trying to achieve? It would be useful to describe the parts

Hi Andrew, A couple notes: I don't think it is a bad thing to have a one-way cache of metadata somewhere for technical / performance reasons (perhaps in a relational database), but I think that we should replicate data for each model (perhaps using a deep copy-on-write approach if this is
