Project Description

  • SBOL Visual is the graphical component of the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) being developed by the Synthetic Biology Data Exchange Group
    • It is intended for the formal specification of composite parts and devices.
    • It is targeted for use by biological engineers in forward engineering projects.
    • It encourages and supports model-driven engineering.
  • SBOL Visual is an open standard.
    • Languages emerge from the friction of top-down control (eg. Preservation of the French Language) and bottom-up needs to communicate (eg. Pop Culture). With this in mind, SBOL Visual is flourishing in an environment of open communication while rigorously defining symbols, syntax, and grammar.
  • SBOL Visual is an abstract tool for solving concrete problems.
    • Technical languages have an additional challenge of balancing the requirements of providing a philosophically consistent framework while still being useful for solving concrete problems. Balancing this tension is difficult and requires both top-down and bottom-up approaches. With that in mind, SBOL Visual has a rigorous and consistent structure and is being used in concrete software tools while working on concrete Synthetic Biology projects.
