SBML 10th Anniversary Symposium
Informatics Forum, University of Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland
9 October 2010
The first draft definition of the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) was produced over the summer 2000. It was originally distributed to the groups collaborating with the ERATO Kitano Symbiotic Systems project team, and many iterations later it became the format we all know and love today. To celebrate ten years of SBML, we held a special symposium on October 9th 2010 in Edinburgh, immediately after the COMBINE meeting and before ICSB 2010.
The event was open to all; no registration was required.
We broadcast the meeting over EVO for those people who could not attend in person. We also videotaped the event, and the recordings are available on this web page.
Agenda
The event began at 13:30 (GMT) on October 9 and featured lectures from individuals who played special roles in the inception, the development, or the support of SBML. All lectures were held on the afternoon of October 9.
