Hi Randall,



I am, personally, still of the view that a Java binding is more important.
As we know, quite a few groups do use Java, so if we want to get them to use
CellML, it's pretty obvious that we must provide them with a Java interface
to the CellML API. Metadata would obviously be useful to them too, but
without access to the CellML API...



Another point is that the clock has been ticking for months and the longer
we delay the Java binding, the less inclined those groups will be to using
CellML. This may be trivial, but let's not forget indeed that they have to
carry on with their research, so they cannot wait for us indefinitely. This
is why some groups have already come up with their own CellML API while
others may end up using another format, neither of which we want.

Subject: [cellml-dev] Java wrappers vs Simulation and graphing metadata
specification work



Hi



In prioritising the work to be done next by Andrew and Justin and Alan on
PCEnv and on CDA (CellML-DOM-API), one thing we have not yet been able to
resolve the relative priorities of work that could aid finalisation of the
simulation and graphing metadata specifications vs creating a Java wrapper
of the CDA. As it stands, PCEnv parses simulation and graphing metadata,
but its format is out of synch with the latest draft of the specs. Andrew
suggests we could possibly address this by creating another API service for
processing each of these, which is an option now that he has implemented the
RDF service. Both Andre and Alan expressed the view that the Java wrappers
should be given the highest priority, do you still feel that way given that
it does delay the metadata work?



Regards,

Randall
