As growing no of models in CellML repository I feel that CellML 
Repository can be made more user friendly by implementing one or more 
suggestions mentioned below-
1. A Tree like browsing mechanism in which end child node of tree will 
have model. For that we need to have classification system for the 
models based on Physiological system or better say using MeSH (Medical 
Subject Headings,something like 
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/mesh/2008/MB_cgi). Models can be in multiple 
classes and basically model metadata can have details for the 
classification purpose like keywords. Domain ontologies can be used to 
give better description for tree like representation.
2. For a given model at the end of overview similar models (basic or 
improved models or more complex models) can be reported (Similar to 
model variants).
3. Web services to search and download CellMl models for non ABI tools ( 
  using  CellMl API or Web API for CellMl).

I don't know if efforts to handle above is under development or already 
exists so I thought to write you all.
