Abstract

Semantic capability description language (SCDL) plays an important role as a common language and provides a generic format for problem formalization. In this paper we extend SCDL to include dynamic biological systems. A new process description language SPDL (semantic process description language) is presented and several queries as well as their corresponding SPDL descriptions are provided that are relevant to biological research. These include metabolic pathway searches and modeling of enzyme kinetics.
