Hi all,

Currently the graphing metadata specification provides the basis for
drawing two-dimensional line or scatter plots of data defined through
simulations performed using CellML models. To distinguish multiple
traces on a graph, each trace can be assigned a colour and for scatter
plots a glyph.

In terms of a graphical user interface the current specification
probably provides enough information for useful plots to be drawn and
other clues/hints can be given in the interface to aid the user in
understanding the graph.

In terms of model publication, I think the current specification lacks
some information that is required for the complete specification of a
graph suitable, for example, for use in a journal article describing the
model. Also for model curation purposes it might be useful to have some
more information about the graph.

So with the view of using metadata to sufficiently describe a graph that
could be used in a journal article, I am after opinions on whether the
current graph metadata specification should be further developed to
include more optional information or whether something like this belongs
in a separate specification that builds on top of the current graphing
metadata specification? The former would seem more preferable to me.


Thanks,
David.
