Abstract :
At the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the visual modeling environment for biology (VMEB) is being developed to allow biologists to construct visual representations of scientific concepts and theories. Unlike existing scientific visual modeling environments, VMEB captures and manages visual concepts and diagrams in a computational form that may be transferred across sessions, shared among collaborators, linked to external data sources, and searched against to identify relevant or matching information
