Detailed Description

MIRIAM-compliant data about a model's history.

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.

The SBML specification beginning with Level 2 Version 2 defines a standard approach to recording optional model history and model creator information in a form that complies with MIRIAM ('Minimum Information Requested in the Annotation of biochemical Models', Nature Biotechnology, vol. 23, no. 12, Dec. 2005). LibSBML provides the ModelHistory class as a convenient high-level interface for working with model history data.

Model histories in SBML consist of one or more model creators, a single date of creation, and one or more modification dates. The overall XML form of this data takes the following form:

 <dc:creator>
   <rdf:Bag>
     <rdf:li rdf:parseType='Resource'>
       +++
       <vCard:N rdf:parseType='Resource'>
         <vCard:Family>family name</vCard:Family>
         <vCard:Given>given name</vCard:Given>
       </vCard:N>
       +++
       <vCard:EMAIL>email address</vCard:EMAIL>
       +++
       <vCard:ORG rdf:parseType='Resource'>
        <vCard:Orgname>organization name</vCard:Orgname>
       </vCard:ORG>
       +++
     </rdf:li>
     ...
   </rdf:Bag>
 </dc:creator>
 <dcterms:created rdf:parseType='Resource'>
   <dcterms:W3CDTF>creation date</dcterms:W3CDTF>
 </dcterms:created>
 <dcterms:modified rdf:parseType='Resource'>
   <dcterms:W3CDTF>modification date</dcterms:W3CDTF>
 </dcterms:modified>
 ...
 

In the template above, the underlined portions are optional, the symbol +++ is a placeholder for either no content or valid XML content that is not defined by the annotation scheme, and the ellipses ... are placeholders for zero or more elements of the same form as the immediately preceding element. The various placeholders for content, namely family name, given name, email address, organization, creation date, and modification date are data that can be filled in using the various methods on the ModelHistory class described below.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.ModelHistory ( )

Creates a new ModelHistory object.

libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.ModelHistory ( ModelHistory  orig)

Copy constructor; creates a copy of this ModelHistory object.

Parameters
origthe object to copy.

Member Function Documentation

int libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.addCreator ( ModelCreator  mc)

Adds a copy of a ModelCreator object to the list of 'model creator' values stored in this ModelHistory object.

In the MIRIAM format for annotations, there can be multiple model creators. The libSBML ModelHistory class supports this by storing a list of 'model creator' values.

Parameters
mcthe ModelCreator to add.
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
int libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.addModifiedDate ( Date  date)

Adds a copy of a Date object to the list of 'modified date' values stored in this ModelHistory object.

In the MIRIAM format for annotations, there can be multiple modification dates. The libSBML ModelHistory class supports this by storing a list of 'modified date' values.

Parameters
datea Date object representing the 'modified date' that should be added to this ModelHistory object.
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
ModelHistory libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.clone ( )

Creates and returns a deep copy of this ModelHistory object.

Returns
the (deep) copy of this ModelHistory object.
virtual void libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.Dispose ( )
virtual
override bool libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.Equals ( Object  sb)
Date libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.getCreatedDate ( )

Returns
a Date object representing the creation date stored in this ModelHistory object.
ModelCreator libsbmlcs.ModelHistory.getCreator ( long  n)
