[cellml-discussion] CellML model translation requests

[Catherine Lloyd]

Dear All

As one of the main curators of the CellML Model Repository, I would  
like to approach you - the community - to ask you if there are any  
models, in particular, which you would like to see translated into  
CellML.  I would rather translate models that have been requested by  
the "experts" rather than the alternative, which is for me randomly  
choose models of my own accord from the literature!

Depending on what kind of a response I get, there will be a system for  
assigning priority to the requests.  Priority will be given to papers  
which are pre-publication, especially where the journal has asked that  
the model code be made available online at the time of going to  
press.  Model completeness is also a consideration, and if authors are  
willing to share their original code this will be in the model's  
favour as this makes the translation process much smoother.

In the future we intend to have a "request for model submission" form  
as part of the new repository (PMR2).  But until this happens the best  
way to get your model translated into CellML and loaded into the  
repository is to email me.

I look forward to hearing from some (many?!) of you.

Best wishes
Catherine
