Hi Matt,

This makes quite a bit of sense to me.

yep. It would also be good to decide on either workspace or package :-)

> - the package is named and has an abstract version

and the name is part of the package URI or the URI is the name? Do you
see things like the simulation and graphing metadata to start
interacting with packages/workspaces in addition to straight CellML
models or that the concept of a package supersedes the use of models in
this context? (I'm thinking the latter would make more sense than
starting to tie variable references to particular document versions)

Why the restriction on only CellML 1.0 models? Currently a model name is
not used for anything so I'm not sure why a 1.1 model name can't also be
used as a package name?

while this makes sense in a 1.0 world, in a more general case any given
model could be in more than one package/workspace. I'm guessing that the
metadata construct you are thinking about could then easily be outside a
particular model document (or within one) and refer to all it's
constituent models via their URI? Where the URI or some other identifier
would consist of the document version information.

agreed.


Andre.
