As part of the CRBM’s annotation and simulation service, we have selected the following models which abide by the agreed standards and annotation practices as defined in Annotation Protocol. These models cover a wide range of domains and include semantic annotations of physical processes (including chemical reactions, molar flow rates, rates of changes of concentration, current flow, etc), physical forces (forces, pressures, electrical potential) and user-defined processes. Researchers and curators should use these models as a guideline when annotating models together with the aforementioned annotation protocol.
