S B F C Framework

The System Biology Format Converter (SBFC) aims is to provide a generic framework that potentially allows any conversion between two formats. Interoperability between formats is a recurring issue in Systems Biology. Although there are various tools available to convert models from one format to another, most of them have been independently developed and cannot easily be combined, specially to provide support for more formats.

The framework is written in Java and can be used as a standalone executable. This is a collaborative project and we hope that developers will provide support for more formats by creating new modules. SBFC allows anyone to easily add new converters and to integrate existing converters with a minimum of changes. It also allow to combine several existing converters.
SBFC is a free, open-source programming library.

This is the top-level directory of the SBFC sources repository. Here you will find the following:

• trunk: a folder that contain the code for SBFC core and the converters developed inside it.

• branches: a folder that contain different code branches for SBFC core or associated projects.

• tags: a folder that contain different code tags for SBFC core or associated projects.

• converters: a folder that contain code for converters developed outside of SBFC core.

• sbfcOnline: a folder that contain code for the web application that allow users to do some convertions online.
