The Submodel class was introduced by the SBML Level 3 Hierarchical Model Composition (“comp”) package as the principle way by which models are structured hierarchically. Submodels are instantiations of models contained within other models. They reference another Model that is to be instantiated within its parent Model, and additionally define how that Model is to be modified before instantiation.
The Submodel object class has a required attribute "modelRef", which must reference another Model or ExternalModelDefinition object present in the SBML Document. This referenced Model is the model to be instantiated.
It also has a required attribute, "id", to give the submodel a unique identifier by which other parts of an SBML model definition can refer to it, and an optional "name" attribute of type string. Identifiers and names must be used according to the guidelines described in the SBML specification.
The Submodel class also provides constructs that define how the referenced Model object is to be modified before it is instantiated in the enclosing model. If numerical values in the referenced model must be changed in order to fit them into their new context as part of the submodel, the changes can be handled through conversion factors. If one or more structural features in the referenced model are undesirable and should be removed, the changes can be handled through deletions. (For example, an initial assignment or reaction may not be relevant in its new context and should be removed.)
In some cases, the referenced Model may have been written with different units than the containing model. For most model elements, this is not a problem: it is already possible to have Species and Parameter objects with different units in a single model, for example, so in this case the resulting hierarchical model would be treated in exactly the same way as any other model with Species and Parameters with different units.
However, two units in SBML models are fixed and must not vary between SBML elements: time and extent. The units of time are set once per model, and affect the core elements of RateRule, KineticLaw, Delay, and the csymbols 'time' and 'delay'. Even if the model does not explicitly state what the units of time actually are, they are defined to be consistent across the model, and therefore might differ from the units of time across a parent model. To correct this imbalance, the optional attribute "timeConversionFactor" may be used, which, if defined, must reference a constant parameter in the parent model. The value of the time conversion factor should be defined such that a single unit of time in the Submodel multiplied by the time conversion factor should equal a single unit of time in the parent model.
Extent is the unit in SBML that defines how the KineticLaw of a Reaction affects species quantities: kinetic laws are defined to be in units of extent/time. No other SBML core construct is defined in terms of extent. If the effective units of extent in a submodel differ from the effective units of extent in the parent model (regardless of whether either defined what those units actually are), the optional attribute "extentConversionFactor" may be used, which, if defined, must reference a constant parameter in the parent model. The value of the extent conversion factor should be defined such that a single unit of extent in the Submodel multiplied by the extent conversion factor should equal a single unit of extent in the parent model.
If features of the referenced model must be removed, a Deletion should be added to the Submodel object. A Submodel may contain a child ListOfDeletions, which in turn may contain one or more Deletion items. Each Deletion references a single element of the referenced Model that must be removed before instantiating that Model as a submodel of the parent Model.

Appends the given annotation to the "annotation" subelement of this object.
Whereas the SBase "notes" subelement is a container for content to be shown directly to humans, the "annotation" element is a container for optional software-generated content not meant to be shown to humans. Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for "annotation". The element's content type is XML type "any", allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.
SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.
Unlike SBase::setAnnotation(const XMLNode* annotation) or SBase::setAnnotation(const std::string& annotation), this method allows other annotations to be preserved when an application adds its own data.

Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for "annotation". The element's content type is XML type "any", allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.
SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.
Unlike SBase::setAnnotation(const XMLNode* annotation) or SBase::setAnnotation(const std::string& annotation), this method allows other annotations to be preserved when an application adds its own data.

Appends the given notes to the "notes" subelement of this object.
The content of notes is copied.
The optional SBML element named "notes", present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the "notes" element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the "notes" element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for "notes", allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.
The format of "notes" elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of "notes" content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker::hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and 3 specifications have considerable detail about how "notes" element content must be structured.

Disables the given SBML Level 3 package on this object.
This method disables the specified package on this object and other objects connected by child-parent links in the same SBMLDocument object.
An example of when this may be useful is during construction of model components when mixing existing and new models. Suppose your application read an SBML document containing a model that used the SBML Hierarchical Model Composition (“comp”) package, and extracted parts of that model in order to construct a new model in memory. The new, in-memory model will not accept a component drawn from an other SBMLDocument with different package namespace declarations. You could reconstruct the same namespaces in the in-memory model first, but as a shortcut, you could also disable the package namespace on the object being added. Here is a code example to help clarify this:

| pkgPrefix | the XML prefix of the package. |

Returns the value of the "id" attribute of this Submodel.
SId or a type derived from that, such as UnitSId, depending on the object in question. All data types are defined as follows:
letter ::= 'a'..'z','A'..'Z'
digit ::= '0'..'9'
idChar ::= letter | digit | '_'
SId ::= ( letter | '_' ) idChar*
The characters ( and ) are used for grouping, the character * "zero or more times", and the character | indicates logical "or". The equality of SBML identifiers is determined by an exact character sequence match; i.e., comparisons must be performed in a case-sensitive manner. This applies to all uses of SId, SIdRef, and derived types.Users need to be aware of some important API issues that are the result of the history of SBML and libSBML. Prior to SBML Level 3 Version 2, SBML defined "id" and "name" attributes on only a subset of SBML objects. To simplify the work of programmers, libSBML's API provided get, set, check, and unset on the SBase object class itself instead of on individual subobject classes. This made the get/set/etc. methods uniformly available on all objects in the libSBML API. LibSBML simply returned empty strings or otherwise did not act when the methods were applied to SBML objects that were not defined by the SBML specification to have "id" or "name" attributes. Additional complications arose with the rule and assignment objects: InitialAssignment, EventAssignment, AssignmentRule, and RateRule. In early versions of SBML, the rule object hierarchy was different, and in addition, then as now, they possess different attributes: "variable" (for the rules and event assignments), "symbol" (for initial assignments), or neither (for algebraic rules). Prior to SBML Level 3 Version 2, getId() would always return an empty string, and isSetId() would always return false for objects of these classes.
With the addition of "id" and "name" attributes on SBase in Level 3 Version 2, it became necessary to introduce a new way to interact with the attributes more consistently in libSBML to avoid breaking backward compatibility in the behavior of the original "id" methods. For this reason, libSBML provides four functions (getIdAttribute(), setIdAttribute(), isSetIdAttribute(), and unsetIdAttribute()) that always act on the actual "id" attribute inherited from SBase, regardless of the object's type. These new methods should be used instead of the older getId()/setId()/etc. methods unless the old behavior is somehow necessary. Regardless of the Level and Version of the SBML, these functions allow client applications to use more generalized code in some situations (for instance, when manipulating objects that are all known to have identifiers). If the object in question does not posess an "id" attribute according to the SBML specification for the Level and Version in use, libSBML will not allow the identifier to be set, nor will it read or write "id" attributes for those objects.

Returns the value of the "name" attribute of this Submodel object.
The "name" attribute is optional and is not intended to be used for cross-referencing purposes within a model. Its purpose instead is to provide a human-readable label for the component. The data type of "name" is the type string defined in XML Schema. SBML imposes no restrictions as to the content of "name" attributes beyond those restrictions defined by the string type in XML Schema.
The recommended practice for handling "name" is as follows. If a software tool has the capability for displaying the content of "name" attributes, it should display this content to the user as a component's label instead of the component's "id". If the user interface does not have this capability (e.g., because it cannot display or use special characters in symbol names), or if the "name" attribute is missing on a given component, then the user interface should display the value of the "id" attribute instead. (Script language interpreters are especially likely to display "id" instead of "name".)
As a consequence of the above, authors of systems that automatically generate the values of "id" attributes should be aware some systems may display the "id"'s to the user. Authors therefore may wish to take some care to have their software create "id" values that are: (a) reasonably easy for humans to type and read; and (b) likely to be meaningful, for example by making the "id" attribute be an abbreviated form of the name attribute value.
An additional point worth mentioning is although there are restrictions on the uniqueness of "id" values, there are no restrictions on the uniqueness of "name" values in a model. This allows software applications leeway in assigning component identifiers.
Regardless of the level and version of the SBML, these functions allow client applications to use more generalized code in some situations (for instance, when manipulating objects that are all known to have names). If the object in question does not posess a "name" attribute according to the SBML specification for the Level and Version in use, libSBML will not allow the name to be set, nor will it read or write "name" attributes for those objects.

Returns the MIRIAM biological qualifier associated with the given resource.
In MIRIAM, qualifiers are an optional means of indicating the relationship between a model component and its annotations. There are two broad kinds of annotations: model and biological. The latter kind is used to qualify the relationship between a model component and a biological entity which it represents. Examples of relationships include "is" and "has part", but many others are possible. MIRIAM defines numerous relationship qualifiers to enable different software tools to qualify biological annotations in the same standardized way. In libSBML, the MIRIAM controlled-vocabulary annotations on an SBML model element are represented using lists of CVTerm objects, and the the MIRIAM biological qualifiers are represented using values from the enumeration type BiolQualifierType_t.
This method searches the controlled-vocabulary annotations (i.e., the list of CVTerm objects) on the present object, then out of those that have biological qualifiers, looks for an annotation to the given resource. If such an annotation is found, it returns the type of biological qualifier associated with that resource as a value from the enumeration type BiolQualifierType_t.

Returns the MIRIAM model qualifier associated with the given resource.
In MIRIAM, qualifiers are an optional means of indicating the relationship between a model component and its annotations. There are two broad kinds of annotations: model and biological. The former kind is used to qualify the relationship between a model component and another modeling object. An example qualifier is "isDerivedFrom", to indicate that a given component of the model is derived from the modeling object represented by the referenced resource. MIRIAM defines numerous relationship qualifiers to enable different software tools to qualify model annotations in the same standardized way. In libSBML, the MIRIAM controlled-vocabulary annotations on an SBML model element are represented using lists of CVTerm objects, and the the MIRIAM model qualifiers are represented using values from the enumeration type ModelQualifierType_t.

The set of possible type codes for core elements is defined in the enumeration SBMLTypeCode_t, and in addition, libSBML plug-ins for SBML Level 3 packages define their own extra enumerations of type codes (e.g., SBMLLayoutTypeCode_t for the Level 3 Layout package). Note that different Level 3 package plug-ins may use overlapping type codes; to identify the package to which a given object belongs, call the SBase::getPackageName() method on the object.The exception to this is lists: all SBML-style list elements have the type SBML_LIST_OF, regardless of what package they are from.

Predicate returning true or false depending on whether this Submodel's "id" attribute has been set.
SId or a type derived from that, such as UnitSId, depending on the object in question. All data types are defined as follows:
letter ::= 'a'..'z','A'..'Z'
digit ::= '0'..'9'
idChar ::= letter | digit | '_'
SId ::= ( letter | '_' ) idChar*
The characters ( and ) are used for grouping, the character * "zero or more times", and the character | indicates logical "or". The equality of SBML identifiers is determined by an exact character sequence match; i.e., comparisons must be performed in a case-sensitive manner. This applies to all uses of SId, SIdRef, and derived types.Users need to be aware of some important API issues that are the result of the history of SBML and libSBML. Prior to SBML Level 3 Version 2, SBML defined "id" and "name" attributes on only a subset of SBML objects. To simplify the work of programmers, libSBML's API provided get, set, check, and unset on the SBase object class itself instead of on individual subobject classes. This made the get/set/etc. methods uniformly available on all objects in the libSBML API. LibSBML simply returned empty strings or otherwise did not act when the methods were applied to SBML objects that were not defined by the SBML specification to have "id" or "name" attributes. Additional complications arose with the rule and assignment objects: InitialAssignment, EventAssignment, AssignmentRule, and RateRule. In early versions of SBML, the rule object hierarchy was different, and in addition, then as now, they possess different attributes: "variable" (for the rules and event assignments), "symbol" (for initial assignments), or neither (for algebraic rules). Prior to SBML Level 3 Version 2, getId() would always return an empty string, and isSetId() would always return false for objects of these classes.
With the addition of "id" and "name" attributes on SBase in Level 3 Version 2, it became necessary to introduce a new way to interact with the attributes more consistently in libSBML to avoid breaking backward compatibility in the behavior of the original "id" methods. For this reason, libSBML provides four functions (getIdAttribute(), setIdAttribute(), isSetIdAttribute(), and unsetIdAttribute()) that always act on the actual "id" attribute inherited from SBase, regardless of the object's type. These new methods should be used instead of the older getId()/setId()/etc. methods unless the old behavior is somehow necessary. Regardless of the Level and Version of the SBML, these functions allow client applications to use more generalized code in some situations (for instance, when manipulating objects that are all known to have identifiers). If the object in question does not posess an "id" attribute according to the SBML specification for the Level and Version in use, libSBML will not allow the identifier to be set, nor will it read or write "id" attributes for those objects.

Predicate returning true if this object's "metaid" attribute is set.
ID, the XML identifier type, which means each "metaid" value must be globally unique within an SBML file. The latter point is important, because the uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type ID anywhere in the file, not just the "metaid" attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the "annotation" subelement happens to use the XML ID type. Although SBML itself specifies the use of XML ID only for the "metaid" attribute, SBML-compatible applications should be careful if they use XML ID's in XML portions of a model that are not defined by SBML, such as in the application-specific content of the "annotation" subelement. Finally, note that LibSBML does not provide an explicit XML ID data type; it uses ordinary character strings, which is easier for applications to support.true if the "metaid" attribute of this SBML object is set, false otherwise.

Predicate returning true or false depending on whether this Submodel's "name" attribute has been set.
The "name" attribute is optional and is not intended to be used for cross-referencing purposes within a model. Its purpose instead is to provide a human-readable label for the component. The data type of "name" is the type string defined in XML Schema. SBML imposes no restrictions as to the content of "name" attributes beyond those restrictions defined by the string type in XML Schema.
The recommended practice for handling "name" is as follows. If a software tool has the capability for displaying the content of "name" attributes, it should display this content to the user as a component's label instead of the component's "id". If the user interface does not have this capability (e.g., because it cannot display or use special characters in symbol names), or if the "name" attribute is missing on a given component, then the user interface should display the value of the "id" attribute instead. (Script language interpreters are especially likely to display "id" instead of "name".)
As a consequence of the above, authors of systems that automatically generate the values of "id" attributes should be aware some systems may display the "id"'s to the user. Authors therefore may wish to take some care to have their software create "id" values that are: (a) reasonably easy for humans to type and read; and (b) likely to be meaningful, for example by making the "id" attribute be an abbreviated form of the name attribute value.
An additional point worth mentioning is although there are restrictions on the uniqueness of "id" values, there are no restrictions on the uniqueness of "name" values in a model. This allows software applications leeway in assigning component identifiers.
Regardless of the level and version of the SBML, these functions allow client applications to use more generalized code in some situations (for instance, when manipulating objects that are all known to have names). If the object in question does not posess a "name" attribute according to the SBML specification for the Level and Version in use, libSBML will not allow the name to be set, nor will it read or write "name" attributes for those objects.

Predicate returning true if this object's "notes" subelement exists and has content.
The optional SBML element named "notes", present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the "notes" element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the "notes" element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for "notes", allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.
The format of "notes" elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of "notes" content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker::hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and 3 specifications have considerable detail about how "notes" element content must be structured.

These and other methods of libSBML refer to the type UnitSIdRef for all Levels of SBML, even if the corresponding SBML specification did not explicitly name the data type.This method works by looking at all unit identifier attribute values (including, if appropriate, inside mathematical formulas), comparing the referenced unit identifiers to the value of oldid. If any matches are found, the matching values are replaced with newid. The method does not descend into child elements.

Additional complications arose with the rule and assignment objects: InitialAssignment, EventAssignment, AssignmentRule, and RateRule. In early versions of SBML, the rule object hierarchy was different, and in addition, then as now, they possess different attributes: "variable" (for the rules and event assignments), "symbol" (for initial assignments), or neither (for algebraic rules). Prior to SBML Level 3 Version 2, getId() would always return an empty string, and isSetId() would always return false for objects of these classes.
With the addition of "id" and "name" attributes on SBase in Level 3 Version 2, it became necessary to introduce a new way to interact with the attributes more consistently in libSBML to avoid breaking backward compatibility in the behavior of the original "id" methods. For this reason, libSBML provides four functions (getIdAttribute(), setIdAttribute(), isSetIdAttribute(), and unsetIdAttribute()) that always act on the actual "id" attribute inherited from SBase, regardless of the object's type. These new methods should be used instead of the older getId()/setId()/etc. methods unless the old behavior is somehow necessary. Regardless of the Level and Version of the SBML, these functions allow client applications to use more generalized code in some situations (for instance, when manipulating objects that are all known to have identifiers). If the object in question does not posess an "id" attribute according to the SBML specification for the Level and Version in use, libSBML will not allow the identifier to be set, nor will it read or write "id" attributes for those objects.

Sets the value of the meta-identifier attribute of this SBML object.
ID, the XML identifier type, which means each "metaid" value must be globally unique within an SBML file. The latter point is important, because the uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type ID anywhere in the file, not just the "metaid" attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the "annotation" subelement happens to use the XML ID type. Although SBML itself specifies the use of XML ID only for the "metaid" attribute, SBML-compatible applications should be careful if they use XML ID's in XML portions of a model that are not defined by SBML, such as in the application-specific content of the "annotation" subelement. Finally, note that LibSBML does not provide an explicit XML ID data type; it uses ordinary character strings, which is easier for applications to support.The string metaid is copied.

Sets the value of the "notes" subelement of this SBML object.
The content of notes is copied, and any existing content of this object's "notes" subelement is deleted.
The optional SBML element named "notes", present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the "notes" element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the "notes" element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for "notes", allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.
The format of "notes" elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of "notes" content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker::hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and 3 specifications have considerable detail about how "notes" element content must be structured.

Unsets the value of the "annotation" subelement of this SBML object.
Whereas the SBase "notes" subelement is a container for content to be shown directly to humans, the "annotation" element is a container for optional software-generated content not meant to be shown to humans. Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for "annotation". The element's content type is XML type "any", allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.
SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.

SId or a type derived from that, such as UnitSId, depending on the object in question. All data types are defined as follows:
letter ::= 'a'..'z','A'..'Z'
digit ::= '0'..'9'
idChar ::= letter | digit | '_'
SId ::= ( letter | '_' ) idChar*
The characters ( and ) are used for grouping, the character * "zero or more times", and the character | indicates logical "or". The equality of SBML identifiers is determined by an exact character sequence match; i.e., comparisons must be performed in a case-sensitive manner. This applies to all uses of SId, SIdRef, and derived types.Users need to be aware of some important API issues that are the result of the history of SBML and libSBML. Prior to SBML Level 3 Version 2, SBML defined "id" and "name" attributes on only a subset of SBML objects. To simplify the work of programmers, libSBML's API provided get, set, check, and unset on the SBase object class itself instead of on individual subobject classes. This made the get/set/etc. methods uniformly available on all objects in the libSBML API. LibSBML simply returned empty strings or otherwise did not act when the methods were applied to SBML objects that were not defined by the SBML specification to have "id" or "name" attributes. Additional complications arose with the rule and assignment objects: InitialAssignment, EventAssignment, AssignmentRule, and RateRule. In early versions of SBML, the rule object hierarchy was different, and in addition, then as now, they possess different attributes: "variable" (for the rules and event assignments), "symbol" (for initial assignments), or neither (for algebraic rules). Prior to SBML Level 3 Version 2, getId() would always return an empty string, and isSetId() would always return false for objects of these classes.
With the addition of "id" and "name" attributes on SBase in Level 3 Version 2, it became necessary to introduce a new way to interact with the attributes more consistently in libSBML to avoid breaking backward compatibility in the behavior of the original "id" methods. For this reason, libSBML provides four functions (getIdAttribute(), setIdAttribute(), isSetIdAttribute(), and unsetIdAttribute()) that always act on the actual "id" attribute inherited from SBase, regardless of the object's type. These new methods should be used instead of the older getId()/setId()/etc. methods unless the old behavior is somehow necessary. Regardless of the Level and Version of the SBML, these functions allow client applications to use more generalized code in some situations (for instance, when manipulating objects that are all known to have identifiers). If the object in question does not posess an "id" attribute according to the SBML specification for the Level and Version in use, libSBML will not allow the identifier to be set, nor will it read or write "id" attributes for those objects.

Unsets the value of the "id" attribute of this SBML object.
Most (but not all) objects in SBML include two common attributes: "id" and "name". The identifier given by an object's "id" attribute value is used to identify the object within the SBML model definition. Other objects can refer to the component using this identifier.

Unsets the value of the "metaid" attribute of this SBML object.
ID, the XML identifier type, which means each "metaid" value must be globally unique within an SBML file. The latter point is important, because the uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type ID anywhere in the file, not just the "metaid" attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the "annotation" subelement happens to use the XML ID type. Although SBML itself specifies the use of XML ID only for the "metaid" attribute, SBML-compatible applications should be careful if they use XML ID's in XML portions of a model that are not defined by SBML, such as in the application-specific content of the "annotation" subelement.

Unsets the value of the "name" attribute of this Submodel.
The "name" attribute is optional and is not intended to be used for cross-referencing purposes within a model. Its purpose instead is to provide a human-readable label for the component. The data type of "name" is the type string defined in XML Schema. SBML imposes no restrictions as to the content of "name" attributes beyond those restrictions defined by the string type in XML Schema.
The recommended practice for handling "name" is as follows. If a software tool has the capability for displaying the content of "name" attributes, it should display this content to the user as a component's label instead of the component's "id". If the user interface does not have this capability (e.g., because it cannot display or use special characters in symbol names), or if the "name" attribute is missing on a given component, then the user interface should display the value of the "id" attribute instead. (Script language interpreters are especially likely to display "id" instead of "name".)
As a consequence of the above, authors of systems that automatically generate the values of "id" attributes should be aware some systems may display the "id"'s to the user. Authors therefore may wish to take some care to have their software create "id" values that are: (a) reasonably easy for humans to type and read; and (b) likely to be meaningful, for example by making the "id" attribute be an abbreviated form of the name attribute value.
An additional point worth mentioning is although there are restrictions on the uniqueness of "id" values, there are no restrictions on the uniqueness of "name" values in a model. This allows software applications leeway in assigning component identifiers.
Regardless of the level and version of the SBML, these functions allow client applications to use more generalized code in some situations (for instance, when manipulating objects that are all known to have names). If the object in question does not posess a "name" attribute according to the SBML specification for the Level and Version in use, libSBML will not allow the name to be set, nor will it read or write "name" attributes for those objects.
