[cellml-discussion] Concerning the CellML Model Repository

[David Nickerson]

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 how the biomodels repository could be extended to 
support CellML?

When you start seeing comments like "BioModels Database ranked first 
data resource for Systems Biology" in Nature Biotechnology, it might be 
a hint that they're doing something right and we should maybe be working 
with them rather than independently.

However, it is more true to the one envisioned before according to http://www.cellml.org/wiki/CellMLModelRepositories, except I have an addition layer that will assist in pulling content and drawing relationships between models.
