BioModels Metadata Analysis

BioModels is a CC0 licensed repository of mathematical models of biological and biomedical systems. It contains manually curated, non-curated, and autogenerated models of varying quality. Most contain some model-level metadata.

This repo automatically downloads, parses, and summarizes the metadata across all applicable models in BioModels. Currently, it generates 3 files:

1. tag_summary.tsv - summarizes what prefixes are used in model-level metadata
2. tag_prefix_summary.tsv - summarizes what prefixes are used in model-level metadata and in combination with what target prefixes
3. triples.tsv - dump of all metadata statements as triples, normalized with the Bioregistry.

Editorial: While there might be subtle differences between the predicates in the http://biomodels.net/biology-qualifiers/ and http://biomodels.net/model-qualifiers/ namespaces, it appears that there is lots of duplicated information and not a standardized schema applied across BioModels.

Rebuild
