NuML - Numerical Markup Language

Project Information

The Numerical Markup Language (NuML) aims to standardize the exchange and archiving of numerical results. NuML originates from the numerical aspects of the Systems Biology Results Markup Language (SBRML) with the aim of re-using it in multiple other standardization efforts.

This project hosts the schema, the specification of NuML, as well as the library for reading and writing NuML (libNUML).
