Dear Weiwei Wang

Thanks for your email. CellML is an exchange format for describing lumped
parameter models - those that consist of systems of differential algebraic
equations (DAEs). If your models of platelet aggregation consist only of
DAEs, and not partial differential equations, then CellML should be able to
represent them. CellML uses XML to structure the representation. This is
primarily to facilitate computer processing and is not intended to produce
human readable representations of models. Although it is possible to write
CellML models directly using a text editor, it is not for the faint-hearted
and certainly not recommended for those unfamiliar with the language. Model
editing applications, like OpenCell or COR, are the preferred tools for
creating, composing, and solving CellML models. The resulting CellML files
can then be exchanged directly with collaborators and/or uploaded to the
model repository to be read in by CellML-aware applications. If you have
further questions, it is recommended that you direct them to the CellML
Discussion List <cellml-discussion at cellml.org>.

Best wishes
Poul
