4. Reproduce published results.
“[..] in Biomodels database the model BIOMD0000000139 and
BIOMD0000000140 are two different models and they are supposed to show
different results. Unfortunately simulating them [..] gives same result for
both the models. [..] “ (Quote: arvin mer on sbml-discuss)
(Figures produced in COPASI)

5. SEMS – Improving result reproducibility
24.09.2013 e:Bio SEMS | sems.uni-rostock.de | Dagmar Waltemath 5
"Quantitative models will be only as useful as
their access and reuse is easy for all scientists”
(Nicolas Le Novère, 2006)
11. Project goals
1. Specify and establish a standard for the description of
simulation experiments (SED-ML) Waltemath et al. BMC Sys Biol (2011)
2. Develop methods for simulation management with focus on
model provenance Waltemath et al. Bioinformatics (2013)
3. Establish links between model-related data on storage level
Henkel et al. INFORMATIK2012 (2012)
4. Promote reproducible science
