Detailed Description

Set of SBML Level + Version + namespace triples.

This class of objects is defined by libSBML only and has no direct equivalent in terms of SBML components. This class is not prescribed by the SBML specifications, although it is used to implement features defined in SBML.

SBMLExtensionNamespaces is a template class. It is extended from SBMLNamespaces and is meant to be used by package extensions to store the SBML Level, Version within a Level, and package version of the SBML Level 3 package implemented by a libSBML package extension.

Basic principles of SBML package extensions in libSBML

SBML Level 3's package structure permits modular extensions to the core SBML format. In libSBML, support for SBML Level 3 packages is provided through optional package extensions that can be plugged into libSBML at the time it is built/compiled. Users of libSBML can thus choose which extensions are enabled in their software applications.

LibSBML defines a number of classes that developers of package extensions can use to implement support for an SBML Level 3 package. These classes make it easier to extend libSBML objects with new attributes and/or subobjects as needed by a particular Level 3 package. Three overall categories of classes make up libSBML's facilities for implementing package extensions. There are (1) classes that serve as base classes meant to be subclassed, (2) template classes meant to be instantiated rather than subclassed, and (3) support classes that provide utility features. A given package implementation for libSBML will take the form of code using these and other libSBML classes, placed in a subdirectory of src/sbml/packages/.

The basic libSBML distribution includes a number of package extensions implementing support for officially-endorsed SBML Level 3 packages; among these are Flux Balance Constraints ('fbc'), Hierarchical Model Composition ('comp'), Layout ('layout'), and Qualitative Models ('qual'). They can serve as working examples for developers working to implement other packages.

Extensions in libSBML can currently only be implemented in C++ or C; there is no mechanism to implement them first in languages such as Java or Python. However, once implemented in C++ or C, language interfaces can be generated semi-automatically using the framework in place in libSBML. (The approach is based on using SWIG and facilities in libSBML's build system.)

int libsbmlcs.SBMLNamespaces.addNamespace	(	string	uri,
		string	prefix
	)

inherited

Add an XML namespace (a pair of URI and prefix) to the set of namespaces within this SBMLNamespaces object.

Parameters

uri	the XML namespace to be added.
prefix	the prefix of the namespace to be added.

Returns

integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:

int libsbmlcs.SBMLNamespaces.addNamespaces ( XMLNamespaces xmlns )

inherited

Add the given XML namespaces list to the set of namespaces within this SBMLNamespaces object.

The following code gives an example of how one could add the XHTML namespace to the list of namespaces recorded by the top-level <sbml> element of a model. It gives the new namespace a prefix of html.

SBMLDocument sd = null;
try
{
    sd = new SBMLDocument(3, 1);
}
catch (SBMLConstructorException e)
{
    // Here, have code to handle a truly exceptional situation.
    // Candidate causes include invalid combinations of SBML
    // Level and Version (impossible if hardwired as given here),
    // running out of memory, and unknown system exceptions.
}
XMLNamespaces sn = sd.getNamespaces();
if (sn != null)
{
    sn.add('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'html');
}
else
{
    // Handle another truly exceptional situation.
}

Parameters

xmlns the XML namespaces to be added.

SBMLNamespaces objects are used in libSBML to communicate SBML Level and Version data between constructors and other methods. The SBMLNamespaces object class holds triples consisting of SBML Level, Version, and the corresponding SBML XML namespace. Most constructors for SBML objects in libSBML take a SBMLNamespaces object as an argument, thereby allowing the constructor to produce the proper combination of attributes and other internal data structures for the given SBML Level and Version.

The plural name (SBMLNamespaces) is not a mistake, because in SBML Level 3, objects may have extensions added by Level 3 packages used by a given model and therefore may have multiple namespaces associated with them. In SBML Levels below Level 3, the SBMLNamespaces object only records one SBML Level/Version/namespace combination at a time. Most constructors for SBML objects in libSBML take a SBMLNamespaces object as an argument, thereby allowing the constructor to produce the proper combination of attributes and other internal data structures for the given SBML Level and Version.

Returns: the XML namespaces of this SBMLNamespaces object.
