Abstract

We present a core Ontology of Biomodelling (OBM), which formally defines principle entities of modelling of biological systems, and follows a structural approach for the engineering of biochemical network models. OBM is fully interoperable with relevant resources, e.g. GO, SBML, ChEBI, and the recording of biomodelling knowledge with Ontology of Biomedical investigations (OBI) ensures efficient sharing and re-use of information, reproducibility of developed biomodels, retrieval of information regarding tools, methods, tasks, bio-models and their parts. An initial version of OBM is available at disc.brunel.ac.uk/obm .
