Abstract
Computational models play an important role in framing our existing knowledge. Such a formal framework is
capable of testing scientific hypotheses about biological systems. Increased numbers of annotated models are
being developed in order to facilitate communication, search, comparison, retrieval, and validation. A key part of
model description relies on consistent representation of information which has been addressed through structured
file formats and community guidelines. As we move towards a more comprehensive representation of modelrelated
information, it becomes ever more important to understand how this information is most easily integrated
in order to satisfy complex use scenarios. Here, we review key model-related data and emerging methods for
facile integration and analysis. More effective approaches for knowledge representation are essential to decrease
the time and efforts involved in data integration and create new opportunities for model-based science.
