Information of articles on which the model appeared or the physiological evidence presented is important to trace the roots of the model. Information of creators of the model written in insilicoML format is important information to evaluate the model, trace the route, and look for relevant models.

This is a top tag including several article tags which specify type attribute taking either model-proposal, model-analysis or related-experiment. Each article is numbered by ID (article-id). An article section involves journal, pubmed-id, article-title, vernacular-article-title, pages and author-set.

<is:article-set>
  <is:article article-id="1" type="model-proposal">

An ISML model may include several models which have their db-id downloaded from the database. In such case, article information must be written to each of models. The target-model means that this article information is of the model with db-id given as its attribute.

<is:target-model-set>
  <is:target-model db-id="this"/>
  <is:target-model db-id="124"/>
</is:target-model-set>

This example shows that this article information is of the model with db-id = “124” and the current model.

This includes information of the journal specified by journal-tile, publisher-name, volume, issue and publication-date.

Publisher name.

The volume name or number of the journal. If necessary, supplement should be written here.

The issue number.
