Example sentences for: biod

How can you use “biod” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • To this end, we began designing BioD by creating building-block icons (Figure 1) that represent primitive functional entities such as atoms, molecules, compartments and so on, where each icon is understood implicitly (as in metabolic pathway and electrical circuit diagrams), but specifically, to possess one or more state properties.

  • Second, to link model elements into distributed networks on the internet, XML-encoded BioD objects and models can be linked using XLink (XML Linking Language [ 22]) and queried for patterns of functional interactions using query languages such as Lore (Lightweight Object Repository [ 23]) that have been developed for distributed, semistructured data.

  • In OOP parlance, for instance, BioD icons and arrow objects would 'know' how to draw themselves, 'inherit' functional and graphical properties from 'parent' icons and arrows, and know how to link to each other.

  • Encoding BioD data structures in XML according to the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML), a recently proposed 'open standard' for exchanging mathematical models of biological systems [ 21], would allow BioD models to be exported and quantitatively simulated in a variety of analytical software platforms.

  • The key first step in developing editors (as well as archiving and analysis software, see below) is to develop standardized, platform-independent computer representations of core BioD language elements (functional properties, icons, arrows and models) in object-oriented programming (OOP) terms so that editors and browsers can be developed on a number of platforms.
