[SED-ML-discuss] id attribute for SEDML class?

[Richard A. <ra...@st...>]

Dear  SED-MLers,
  I was wondering what anybody thought about adding some sort of  
identifier attribute to the top-level SEDML element? I think there  
might be a need for it, because at present there is no way of reliably  
distinguishing, programmatically, between different SEDML objects. Any  
tool or database  that could need to work with multiple SED-ML  
descriptions lacks a  business key to refer to these objects.

In SBML, for example, this is covered by the  enclosing 'model'  
element with its 'id' attribute.


  Cheers
     Richard
