Detailed Description

Implementation of SBML's KineticLaw construct.

An object of class KineticLaw is used to describe the rate at which the process defined by a given Reaction takes place. KineticLaw has subelements called 'math' (for MathML content) and 'listOfParameters' (of class ListOfParameters), in addition to the attributes and subelements it inherits from SBase.

KineticLaw's 'math' subelement for holding a MathML formula defines the rate of the reaction. The formula may refer to other entities in a model as well as local parameter definitions within the scope of the Reaction (see below). It is important to keep in mind, however, that the only Species identifiers that can be used in this formula are those declared in the lists of reactants, products and modifiers in the Reaction structure. (In other words, before a species can be referenced in the KineticLaw, it must be declared in one of those lists.)

KineticLaw provides a way to define local parameters whose identifiers can be used in the 'math' formula of that KineticLaw instance. Prior to SBML Level 3, these parameter definitions are stored inside a 'listOfParameters' subelement containing Parameter objects; in SBML Level 3, this is achieved using a specialized object class called LocalParameter and the containing subelement is called 'listOfLocalParameters'. In both cases, the parameters so defined are only visible within the KineticLaw; they cannot be accessed outside. A local parameter within one reaction is not visible from within another reaction, nor is it visible to any other construct outside of the KineticLaw in which it is defined. In addition, another important feature is that if such a Parameter (or in Level 3, LocalParameter) object has the same identifier as another object in the scope of the enclosing Model, the definition inside the KineticLaw takes precedence. In other words, within the KineticLaw's 'math' formula, references to local parameter identifiers shadow any identical global identifiers.

The values of local parameters defined within KineticLaw objects cannot change. In SBML Level 3, this quality is built into the LocalParameter construct. In Level 2, where the same kind of Parameter object class is used as for global parameters, the Parameter objects' 'constant' attribute must always have a value of true (either explicitly or left to its default value).

A warning about identifier shadowing

A common misconception is that different classes of objects (e.g., species, compartments, parameters) in SBML have different identifier scopes. They do not. The implication is that if a KineticLaw's local parameter definition uses an identifier identical to any other identifier defined in the model outside the KineticLaw, even if the other identifier does not belong to a parameter type of object, the local parameter's identifier takes precedence within that KineticLaw's 'math' formula. It is not an error in SBML for identifiers to shadow each other this way, but can lead to confusing and subtle errors.

Version differences

In SBML Level 2 Version 1, the SBML specification included two additional attributes on KineticLaw called 'substanceUnits' and 'timeUnits'. They were removed beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 2 because further research determined they introduced many problems. The most significant problem was that their use could easily lead to the creation of valid models whose reactions nevertheless could not be integrated into a system of equations without outside knowledge for converting the quantities used. Examination of real-life models revealed that a common reason for using 'substanceUnits' on KineticLaw was to set the units of all reactions to the same set of substance units, something that is better achieved by using UnitDefinition to redefine 'substance' for the whole Model.

As mentioned above, in SBML Level 2 Versions 2–4, local parameters are of class Parameter. In SBML Level 3, the class of object is LocalParameter.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.KineticLaw ( long  level,
long  version 
)

Creates a new KineticLaw using the given SBML level and version values.

Parameters
levela long integer, the SBML Level to assign to this KineticLaw
versiona long integer, the SBML Version to assign to this KineticLaw
Exceptions
SBMLConstructorExceptionThrown if the given level and version combination, or this kind of SBML object, are either invalid or mismatched with respect to the parent SBMLDocument object.
Note
Upon the addition of a KineticLaw object to an SBMLDocument (e.g., using Reaction::setKineticLaw()), the SBML Level, SBML Version and XML namespace of the document override the values used when creating the KineticLaw object via this constructor. This is necessary to ensure that an SBML document is a consistent structure. Nevertheless, the ability to supply the values at the time of creation of a KineticLaw is an important aid to producing valid SBML. Knowledge of the intented SBML Level and Version determine whether it is valid to assign a particular value to an attribute, or whether it is valid to add an object to an existing SBMLDocument.
libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.KineticLaw ( SBMLNamespaces  sbmlns)

Creates a new KineticLaw using the given SBMLNamespaces object sbmlns.

The SBMLNamespaces object encapsulates SBML Level/Version/namespaces information. It is used to communicate the SBML Level, Version, and (in Level 3) packages used in addition to SBML Level 3 Core. A common approach to using this class constructor is to create an SBMLNamespaces object somewhere in a program, once, then pass it to object constructors such as this one when needed.

Parameters
sbmlnsan SBMLNamespaces object.
Exceptions
SBMLConstructorExceptionThrown if the given level and version combination, or this kind of SBML object, are either invalid or mismatched with respect to the parent SBMLDocument object.
Note
Upon the addition of a KineticLaw object to an SBMLDocument (e.g., using Reaction::setKineticLaw()), the SBML XML namespace of the document overrides the value used when creating the KineticLaw object via this constructor. This is necessary to ensure that an SBML document is a consistent structure. Nevertheless, the ability to supply the values at the time of creation of a KineticLaw is an important aid to producing valid SBML. Knowledge of the intented SBML Level and Version determine whether it is valid to assign a particular value to an attribute, or whether it is valid to add an object to an existing SBMLDocument.
libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.KineticLaw ( KineticLaw  orig)

Copy constructor; creates a copy of this KineticLaw.

Parameters
origthe object to copy.
Exceptions
SBMLConstructorExceptionThrown if the argument orig is null.

Member Function Documentation

int libsbmlcs.SBase.addCVTerm ( CVTerm  term,
bool  newBag 
)
inherited

Adds a copy of the given CVTerm object to this SBML object.

Parameters
termthe CVTerm to assign.
newBagif true, creates a new RDF bag with the same identifier as a previous bag, and if false, adds the term to an existing RDF bag with the same type of qualifier as the term being added.
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
Note
Since the CV Term uses the 'metaid' attribute of the object as a reference, if the object has no 'metaid' attribute value set, then the CVTerm will not be added.
Warning
The fact that this method copies the object passed to it means that the caller will be left holding a physically different object instance than the one contained in this object. Changes made to the original object instance (such as resetting attribute values) will not affect the instance added here. In addition, the caller should make sure to free the original object if it is no longer being used, or else a memory leak will result.
int libsbmlcs.SBase.addCVTerm ( CVTerm  term)
inherited

Adds a copy of the given CVTerm object to this SBML object.

Parameters
termthe CVTerm to assign.
newBagif true, creates a new RDF bag with the same identifier as a previous bag, and if false, adds the term to an existing RDF bag with the same type of qualifier as the term being added.
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
Note
Since the CV Term uses the 'metaid' attribute of the object as a reference, if the object has no 'metaid' attribute value set, then the CVTerm will not be added.

Parameters
pthe LocalParameter to add
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
Note
This method should be used with some caution. The fact that this method copies the object passed to it means that the caller will be left holding a physically different object instance than the one contained in this KineticLaw. Changes made to the original object instance (such as resetting attribute values) will not affect the instance in the KineticLaw. In addition, the caller should make sure to free the original object if it is no longer being used, or else a memory leak will result. Please see createParameter() for a method that does not lead to these issues.

int libsbmlcs.SBase.appendAnnotation ( XMLNode  annotation)
inherited

Appends the given annotation to the 'annotation' subelement of this object.

Whereas the SBase 'notes' subelement is a container for content to be shown directly to humans, the 'annotation' element is a container for optional software-generated content not meant to be shown to humans. Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for 'annotation'. The element's content type is XML type 'any', allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.

SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.

Unlike SBase::setAnnotation(XMLNode annotation) or SBase::setAnnotation(string annotation), this method allows other annotations to be preserved when an application adds its own data.

Parameters
annotationan XML structure that is to be copied and appended to the content of the 'annotation' subelement of this object
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:

int libsbmlcs.SBase.appendNotes ( XMLNode  notes)
inherited

Appends the given notes to the 'notes' subelement of this object.

The content of notes is copied.

The optional SBML element named 'notes', present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the 'notes' element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the 'notes' element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for 'notes', allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.

The format of 'notes' elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of 'notes' content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker::hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and  3 specifications have considerable detail about how 'notes' element content must be structured.

Parameters
notesan XML node structure that is to appended to the content of the 'notes' subelement of this object
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:

SBase libsbmlcs.SBase.getAncestorOfType ( int  type,
string  pkgName 
)
inherited

Returns the first ancestor object that has the given SBML type code.

LibSBML attaches an identifying code to every kind of SBML object. These are known as SBML type codes. In the C# language interface for libSBML, the type codes are defined as static integer constants in the interface class libsbml. The names of the type codes all begin with the characters SBML_.

This method searches the tree of objects that are parents of this object, and returns the first one that has the given SBML type code. If the optional argument pkgName is given, it will cause the search to be limited to the SBML Level 3 package given.

Parameters
typethe SBML type code of the object sought
pkgName(optional) the short name of an SBML Level 3 package to which the sought-after object must belong
Returns
the ancestor SBML object of this SBML object that corresponds to the given SBML object type code, or null if no ancestor exists.
SBase libsbmlcs.SBase.getAncestorOfType ( int  type)
inherited

Returns the first ancestor object that has the given SBML type code.

Returns
the ancestor SBML object of this SBML object that corresponds to the given SBML object type code, or null if no ancestor exists.
XMLNode libsbmlcs.SBase.getAnnotation ( )
inherited

Returns the content of the 'annotation' subelement of this object as a tree of XMLNode objects.

Whereas the SBML 'notes' subelement is a container for content to be shown directly to humans, the 'annotation' element is a container for optional software-generated content not meant to be shown to humans. Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for 'annotation'. The element's content type is XML type 'any', allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.

SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.

The annotations returned by this method will be in XML form. LibSBML provides an object model and related interfaces for certain specific kinds of annotations, namely model history information and RDF content. See the ModelHistory, CVTerm and RDFAnnotationParser classes for more information about the facilities available.

Returns
the annotation of this SBML object as a tree of XMLNode objects.

long libsbmlcs.SBase.getColumn ( )
inherited

Returns the column number on which this object first appears in the XML representation of the SBML document.

Returns
the column number of this SBML object.
Note
The column number for each construct in an SBML model is set upon reading the model. The accuracy of the column number depends on the correctness of the XML representation of the model, and on the particular XML parser library being used. The former limitation relates to the following problem: if the model is actually invalid XML, then the parser may not be able to interpret the data correctly and consequently may not be able to establish the real column number. The latter limitation is simply that different parsers seem to have their own accuracy limitations, and out of all the parsers supported by libSBML, none have been 100% accurate in all situations. (At this time, libSBML supports the use of libxml2, Expat and Xerces.)

getLine()
CVTerm libsbmlcs.SBase.getCVTerm ( long  n)
inherited

Returns the nth CVTerm in the list of CVTerms of this SBML object.

Parameters
nlong the index of the CVTerm to retrieve
Returns
the nth CVTerm in the list of CVTerms for this SBML object.
CVTermList libsbmlcs.SBase.getCVTerms ( )
inherited

Returns a list of CVTerm objects in the annotations of this SBML object.

Returns
the list of CVTerms for this SBML object.
UnitDefinition libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getDerivedUnitDefinition ( )

Calculates and returns a UnitDefinition that expresses the units of measurement assumed for the 'math' expression of this KineticLaw.

The units are calculated based on the mathematical expression in the KineticLaw and the model quantities referenced by <ci> elements used within that expression. The getDerivedUnitDefinition() method returns the calculated units.

Note that the functionality that facilitates unit analysis depends on the model as a whole. Thus, in cases where the object has not been added to a model or the model itself is incomplete, unit analysis is not possible and this method will return null.

Warning
Note that it is possible the 'math' expression in the KineticLaw contains pure numbers or parameters with undeclared units. In those cases, it is not possible to calculate the units of the overall expression without making assumptions. LibSBML does not make assumptions about the units, and getDerivedUnitDefinition() only returns the units as far as it is able to determine them. For example, in an expression X + Y, if X has unambiguously-defined units and Y does not, it will return the units of X. It is important that callers also invoke the method containsUndeclaredUnits() to determine whether this situation holds. Callers may wish to take suitable actions in those scenarios.
Returns
a UnitDefinition that expresses the units of the math expression of this KineticLaw, or null if one cannot be constructed.
See Also
containsUndeclaredUnits()
SBase libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getElementByMetaId ( string  metaid)

Returns the first child element it can find with the given metaid, or null if no such object is found.

Parameters
metaidstring representing the metaid of objects to find
Returns
pointer to the first element found with the given metaid.
SBase libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getElementBySId ( string  id)

Returns the first child element found that has the given id in the model-wide SId namespace, or null if no such object is found.

Parameters
idstring representing the id of objects to find.
Returns
pointer to the first element found with the given id.
SBase libsbmlcs.SBase.getElementFromPluginsByMetaId ( string  metaid)
inherited

Returns the first child element it can find with the given metaid from all plug-ins associated with this element, or null if no such object is found.

Parameters
metaidstring representing the metaid of objects to find
Returns
pointer to the first element found with the given metaid.
SBase libsbmlcs.SBase.getElementFromPluginsBySId ( string  id)
inherited

Returns the first child element found that has the given id in the model-wide SId namespace from all plug-ins associated with this element, or null if no such object is found.

Parameters
idstring representing the id of objects to find
Returns
pointer to the first element found with the given id.
new string libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getElementName ( )

Returns the XML element name of this object, which for Species, is always 'kineticLaw'.

Returns
the name of this element, i.e., 'kineticLaw'.
string libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getFormula ( )

Returns the mathematical formula for this KineticLaw object and return it as as a text string.

This is fundamentally equivalent to getMath(). This variant is provided principally for compatibility compatibility with SBML Level 1.

Returns
a string representing the formula of this KineticLaw.
Note
SBML Level 1 uses a text-string format for mathematical formulas. SBML Level 2 uses MathML, an XML format for representing mathematical expressions. LibSBML provides an Abstract Syntax Tree API for working with mathematical expressions; this API is more powerful than working with formulas directly in text form, and ASTs can be translated into either MathML or the text-string syntax. The libSBML methods that accept text-string formulas directly (such as this constructor) are provided for SBML Level 1 compatibility, but developers are encouraged to use the AST mechanisms.

override int libsbmlcs.SBase.GetHashCode ( )
inherited
string libsbmlcs.SBase.getId ( )
inherited

Returns the value of the 'metaid' attribute of this object.

The optional attribute named 'metaid', present on every major SBML component type, is for supporting metadata annotations using RDF (Resource Description Format). The attribute value has the data type XML ID, the XML identifier type, which means each 'metaid' value must be globally unique within an SBML file. (Importantly, this uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type XML ID, not just the 'metaid' attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the 'annotation' subelement happens to use XML ID.) The 'metaid' value serves to identify a model component for purposes such as referencing that component from metadata placed within 'annotation' subelements.

Returns
the meta-identifier of this SBML object, as a string.

Note
The line number for each construct in an SBML model is set upon reading the model. The accuracy of the line number depends on the correctness of the XML representation of the model, and on the particular XML parser library being used. The former limitation relates to the following problem: if the model is actually invalid XML, then the parser may not be able to interpret the data correctly and consequently may not be able to establish the real line number.

XMLNode libsbmlcs.SBase.getNotes ( )
inherited

Returns the content of the 'notes' subelement of this object as a tree of XMLNode objects.

The optional SBML element named 'notes', present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the 'notes' element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the 'notes' element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for 'notes', allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.

The format of 'notes' elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of 'notes' content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker::hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and  3 specifications have considerable detail about how 'notes' element content must be structured.

The 'notes' element content returned by this method will be in XML form, but libSBML does not provide an object model specifically for the content of notes. Callers will need to traverse the XML tree structure using the facilities available on XMLNode and related objects. For an alternative method of accessing the notes, see getNotesString().

int libsbmlcs.SBase.getResourceBiologicalQualifier ( string  resource)
inherited

Returns the MIRIAM biological qualifier associated with the given resource.

In MIRIAM, qualifiers are an optional means of indicating the relationship between a model component and its annotations. There are two broad kinds of annotations: model and biological. The latter kind is used to qualify the relationship between a model component and a biological entity which it represents. Examples of relationships include 'is' and 'has part', but many others are possible. MIRIAM defines numerous relationship qualifiers to enable different software tools to qualify biological annotations in the same standardized way. In libSBML, the MIRIAM controlled-vocabulary annotations on an SBML model element are represented using lists of CVTerm objects, and the the MIRIAM biological qualifiers are represented using valueswhose names begin with BQB_ in the interface class libsbml.

This method searches the controlled-vocabulary annotations (i.e., the list of CVTerm objects) on the present object, then out of those that have biological qualifiers, looks for an annotation to the given resource. If such an annotation is found, it returns the type of biological qualifier associated with that resource as a valuewhose names begin with BQB_ in the interface class libsbml.

Parameters
resourcestring representing the resource; e.g., 'http://www.geneontology.org/#GO:0005892'.
Returns
the qualifier associated with the resource, or BQB_UNKNOWN if the resource does not exist.
Note
The set of MIRIAM biological qualifiers grows over time, although relatively slowly. The values are up to date with MIRIAM at the time of a given libSBML release. The set of values in list of BQB_ constants defined in libsbml may be expanded in later libSBML releases, to match the values defined by MIRIAM at that later time.
int libsbmlcs.SBase.getResourceModelQualifier ( string  resource)
inherited

Returns the MIRIAM model qualifier associated with the given resource.

In MIRIAM, qualifiers are an optional means of indicating the relationship between a model component and its annotations. There are two broad kinds of annotations: model and biological. The former kind is used to qualify the relationship between a model component and another modeling object. An example qualifier is 'isDerivedFrom', to indicate that a given component of the model is derived from the modeling object represented by the referenced resource. MIRIAM defines numerous relationship qualifiers to enable different software tools to qualify model annotations in the same standardized way. In libSBML, the MIRIAM controlled-vocabulary annotations on an SBML model element are represented using lists of CVTerm objects, and the the MIRIAM model qualifiers are represented using valueswhose names begin with BQB_ in the interface class libsbml.

This method method searches the controlled-vocabulary annotations (i.e., the list of CVTerm objects) on the present object, then out of those that have model qualifiers, looks for an annotation to the given resource. If such an annotation is found, it returns the type of type of model qualifier associated with that resource as a valuewhose names begin with BQB_ in the interface class libsbml.

Parameters
resourcestring representing the resource; e.g., 'http://www.geneontology.org/#GO:0005892'.
Returns
the model qualifier type associated with the resource, or BQM_UNKNOWN if the resource does not exist.
Note
The set of MIRIAM model qualifiers grows over time, although relatively slowly. The values are up to date with MIRIAM at the time of a given libSBML release. The set of values in list of BQM_ constants defined in libsbml may be expanded in later libSBML releases, to match the values defined by MIRIAM at that later time.
SBMLDocument libsbmlcs.SBase.getSBMLDocument ( )
inherited

Returns the SBMLDocument object containing this object instance.

LibSBML uses the class SBMLDocument as a top-level container for storing SBML content and data associated with it (such as warnings and error messages). An SBML model in libSBML is contained inside an SBMLDocument object. SBMLDocument corresponds roughly to the class SBML defined in the SBML Level 3 and Level 2 specifications, but it does not have a direct correspondence in SBML Level 1. (But, it is created by libSBML no matter whether the model is Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.)

This method allows the caller to obtain the SBMLDocument for the current object.

Returns
the parent SBMLDocument object of this SBML object.

SBMLNamespaces libsbmlcs.SBase.getSBMLNamespaces ( )
inherited

Subclasses should override this method to write out their contained SBML objects as XML elements.

Be sure to call your parents implementation of this method as well. For example:

int libsbmlcs.SBase.getSBOTerm ( )
inherited

Returns the integer portion of the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute of this object.

Beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 3, objects derived from SBase have an optional attribute named 'sboTerm' for supporting the use of the Systems Biology Ontology. In SBML proper, the data type of the attribute is a string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN', where 'NNNNNNN' is a seven digit integer number; libSBML simplifies the representation by only storing the 'NNNNNNN' integer portion. Thus, in libSBML, the 'sboTerm' attribute on SBase has data type int, and SBO identifiers are stored simply as integers. (For convenience, libSBML offers methods for returning both the integer form and a text-string form of the SBO identifier.)

SBO terms are a type of optional annotation, and each different class of SBML object derived from SBase imposes its own requirements about the values permitted for 'sboTerm'. Please consult the SBML Level 2 Version 4 specification for more information about the use of SBO and the 'sboTerm' attribute.

Returns
the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute as an integer, or -1 if the value is not set.
string libsbmlcs.SBase.getSBOTermAsURL ( )
inherited

Returns the identifiers.org URL representation of the 'sboTerm' attribute of this object.

This method returns the entire SBO identifier as a text string in the form 'http://identifiers.org/biomodels.sbo/SBO:NNNNNNN'.

SBO terms are a type of optional annotation, and each different class of SBML object derived from SBase imposes its own requirements about the values permitted for 'sboTerm'. Please consult the SBML Level 2 Version 4 specification for more information about the use of SBO and the 'sboTerm' attribute.

Returns
the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute as an identifiers.org URL (its value will be of the form 'http://identifiers.org/biomodels.sbo/SBO:NNNNNNN'), or an empty string if the value is not set.
string libsbmlcs.SBase.getSBOTermID ( )
inherited

Returns the string representation of the 'sboTerm' attribute of this object.

Beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 3, objects derived from SBase have an optional attribute named 'sboTerm' for supporting the use of the Systems Biology Ontology. In SBML proper, the data type of the attribute is a string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN', where 'NNNNNNN' is a seven digit integer number; libSBML simplifies the representation by only storing the 'NNNNNNN' integer portion. Thus, in libSBML, the 'sboTerm' attribute on SBase has data type int, and SBO identifiers are stored simply as integers. This method returns the entire SBO identifier as a text string in the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN'.

SBO terms are a type of optional annotation, and each different class of SBML object derived from SBase imposes its own requirements about the values permitted for 'sboTerm'. Please consult the SBML Level 2 Version 4 specification for more information about the use of SBO and the 'sboTerm' attribute.

Returns
the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute as a string (its value will be of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN'), or an empty string if the value is not set.
string libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getSubstanceUnits ( )

(SBML Level 2 Version 1 only) Returns the value of the 'substanceUnits' attribute of this KineticLaw object.

Returns
the 'substanceUnits' attribute value.
Note
The attributes 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' are present only in SBML Level 2 Version 1. In SBML Level 2 Version 2, the 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' attributes were removed. For compatibility with new versions of SBML, users are cautioned to avoid these attributes.
string libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getTimeUnits ( )

(SBML Level 2 Version 1 only) Returns the value of the 'timeUnits' attribute of this KineticLaw object.

Returns
the 'timeUnits' attribute value.
Note
The attributes 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' are present only in SBML Level 2 Version 1. In SBML Level 2 Version 2, the 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' attributes were removed. For compatibility with new versions of SBML, users are cautioned to avoid these attributes.
new int libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.getTypeCode ( )

Returns the libSBML type code for this SBML object.

LibSBML attaches an identifying code to every kind of SBML object. These are known as SBML type codes. In the C# language interface for libSBML, the type codes are defined as static integer constants in the interface class libsbmlcs.libsbml. The names of the type codes all begin with the characters SBML_.

Returns
the SBML type code for this object, or SBML_UNKNOWN (default).

new bool libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.hasRequiredAttributes ( )

Predicate returning true if all the required attributes for this KineticLaw object have been set.

Note
The required attributes for a KineticLaw object are:
  • 'formula' (SBML Level 1 only)
Returns
a bool value indicating whether all the required attributes for this object have been defined.
new bool libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.hasRequiredElements ( )

Predicate returning true if all the required elements for this KineticLaw object have been set.

Note
The required elements for a KineticLaw object are:
  • 'math'
Returns
a bool value indicating whether all the required elements for this object have been defined.
bool libsbmlcs.SBase.hasValidLevelVersionNamespaceCombination ( )
inherited

bool libsbmlcs.SBase.isPackageEnabled ( string  pkgName)
inherited

Predicate returning true if the given SBML Level 3 package is enabled with this object.

The search ignores the package version.

Parameters
pkgNamethe name of the package
Returns
true if the given package is enabled within this object, false otherwise.
See Also
isPackageURIEnabled()
bool libsbmlcs.SBase.isPackageURIEnabled ( string  pkgURI)

Returns
true if the given package is enabled within this object, false otherwise.
See Also
isPkgEnabled()
bool libsbmlcs.SBase.isSetAnnotation ( )
inherited

Predicate returning true if this object's 'annotation' subelement exists and has content.

Whereas the SBase 'notes' subelement is a container for content to be shown directly to humans, the 'annotation' element is a container for optional software-generated content not meant to be shown to humans. Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for 'annotation'. The element's content type is XML type 'any', allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.

SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.

Returns
true if a 'annotation' subelement exists, false otherwise.

bool libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.isSetFormula ( )

Predicate returning true if this KineticLaw's 'formula' attribute is set.

This is functionally identical to the method isSetMath(). It is provided in order to mirror the parallel between getFormula() and getMath().

Returns
true if the formula (meaning the math subelement) of this KineticLaw is set, false otherwise.
Note
SBML Level 1 uses a text-string format for mathematical formulas. SBML Level 2 uses MathML, an XML format for representing mathematical expressions. LibSBML provides an Abstract Syntax Tree API for working with mathematical expressions; this API is more powerful than working with formulas directly in text form, and ASTs can be translated into either MathML or the text-string syntax. The libSBML methods that accept text-string formulas directly (such as this constructor) are provided for SBML Level 1 compatibility, but developers are encouraged to use the AST mechanisms.

isSetMath()
bool libsbmlcs.SBase.isSetId ( )
inherited

Predicate returning true if this object's 'metaid' attribute is set.

The optional attribute named 'metaid', present on every major SBML component type, is for supporting metadata annotations using RDF (Resource Description Format). The attribute value has the data type XML ID, the XML identifier type, which means each 'metaid' value must be globally unique within an SBML file. (Importantly, this uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type XML ID, not just the 'metaid' attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the 'annotation' subelement happens to use XML ID.) The 'metaid' value serves to identify a model component for purposes such as referencing that component from metadata placed within 'annotation' subelements.

Returns
true if the 'metaid' attribute of this SBML object is set, false otherwise.
See Also

bool libsbmlcs.SBase.isSetModelHistory ( )
inherited

Predicate returning true if this object has a ModelHistory object attached to it.

Returns
true if the ModelHistory of this object is set, false otherwise.
Note
In SBML Level 2, model history annotations were only permitted on the Model element. In SBML Level 3, they are permitted on all SBML components derived from SBase.
bool libsbmlcs.SBase.isSetName ( )
inherited

Predicate returning true if this object's 'metaid' attribute is set.

The optional attribute named 'metaid', present on every major SBML component type, is for supporting metadata annotations using RDF (Resource Description Format). The attribute value has the data type XML ID, the XML identifier type, which means each 'metaid' value must be globally unique within an SBML file.

bool libsbmlcs.SBase.isSetNotes ( )
inherited

Predicate returning true if this object's 'notes' subelement exists and has content.

The optional SBML element named 'notes', present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the 'notes' element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the 'notes' element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for 'notes', allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.

The format of 'notes' elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of 'notes' content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker::hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and  3 specifications have considerable detail about how 'notes' element content must be structured.

Returns
true if a 'notes' subelement exists, false otherwise.

int libsbmlcs.SBase.setAnnotation ( XMLNode  annotation)
inherited

Sets the value of the 'annotation' subelement of this SBML object.

The content of annotation is copied, and any previous content of this object's 'annotation' subelement is deleted.

Whereas the SBase 'notes' subelement is a container for content to be shown directly to humans, the 'annotation' element is a container for optional software-generated content not meant to be shown to humans. Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for 'annotation'. The element's content type is XML type 'any', allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.

SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.

Call this method will result in any existing content of the 'annotation' subelement to be discarded. Unless you have taken steps to first copy and reconstitute any existing annotations into the annotation that is about to be assigned, it is likely that performing such wholesale replacement is unfriendly towards other software applications whose annotations are discarded. An alternative may be to use SBase::appendAnnotation(XMLNode annotation) or SBase::appendAnnotation(string annotation).

See Also
setFormula(string formula)
int libsbmlcs.SBase.setMetaId ( string  metaid)
inherited

Sets the value of the 'metaid' attribute of this object.

The string metaid is copied. The value of metaid must be an identifier conforming to the syntax defined by the XML 1.0 data type ID. Among other things, this type requires that a value is unique among all the values of type XML ID in an SBMLDocument. Although SBML only uses XML ID for the 'metaid' attribute, callers should be careful if they use XML ID's in XML portions of a model that are not defined by SBML, such as in the application-specific content of the 'annotation' subelement.

Parameters
metaidthe identifier string to use as the value of the 'metaid' attribute
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:

Sets the value of the 'notes' subelement of this SBML object.

The content of notes is copied, and any existing content of this object's 'notes' subelement is deleted.

The optional SBML element named 'notes', present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the 'notes' element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the 'notes' element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for 'notes', allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.

The format of 'notes' elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of 'notes' content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker::hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and  3 specifications have considerable detail about how 'notes' element content must be structured.

Parameters
notesan XML structure that is to be used as the content of the 'notes' subelement of this object
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:

The following code illustrates a very simple way of setting the notes using this method. Here, the object being annotated is the whole SBML document, but that is for illustration purposes only; you could of course use this same approach to annotate any other SBML component. SBMLDocument s = new SBMLDocument(3, 1); s.setNotes('<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

here is my note

</body>');

Parameters
notesan XML string that is to be used as the content of the 'notes' subelement of this object
addXHTMLMarkupa bool indicating whether to wrap the contents of the notes argument with XHTML paragraph (<p>) tags. This is appropriate when the string in notes does not already containg the appropriate XHTML markup.

void libsbmlcs.SBase.setSBMLNamespacesAndOwn ( SBMLNamespaces  sbmlns)
inherited

Subclasses should override this method to write out their contained SBML objects as XML elements.

Be sure to call your parents implementation of this method as well. For example:

int libsbmlcs.SBase.setSBOTerm ( int  value)
inherited

Sets the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute.

Beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 3, objects derived from SBase have an optional attribute named 'sboTerm' for supporting the use of the Systems Biology Ontology. In SBML proper, the data type of the attribute is a string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN', where 'NNNNNNN' is a seven digit integer number; libSBML simplifies the representation by only storing the 'NNNNNNN' integer portion. Thus, in libSBML, the 'sboTerm' attribute on SBase has data type int, and SBO identifiers are stored simply as integers.

SBO terms are a type of optional annotation, and each different class of SBML object derived from SBase imposes its own requirements about the values permitted for 'sboTerm'. Please consult the SBML Level 2 Version 4 specification for more information about the use of SBO and the 'sboTerm' attribute.

Parameters
valuethe NNNNNNN integer portion of the SBO identifier
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
See Also
setSBOTerm(string sboid)
int libsbmlcs.SBase.setSBOTerm ( string  sboid)
inherited

Sets the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute by string.

Beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 3, objects derived from SBase have an optional attribute named 'sboTerm' for supporting the use of the Systems Biology Ontology. In SBML proper, the data type of the attribute is a string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN', where 'NNNNNNN' is a seven digit integer number; libSBML simplifies the representation by only storing the 'NNNNNNN' integer portion. Thus, in libSBML, the 'sboTerm' attribute on SBase has data type int, and SBO identifiers are stored simply as integers. This method lets you set the value of 'sboTerm' as a complete string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN', whereas setSBOTerm(int value) allows you to set it using the integer form.

SBO terms are a type of optional annotation, and each different class of SBML object derived from SBase imposes its own requirements about the values permitted for 'sboTerm'. Please consult the SBML Level 2 Version 4 specification for more information about the use of SBO and the 'sboTerm' attribute.

Parameters
sboidthe SBO identifier string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN'
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:

int libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.setSubstanceUnits ( string  sid)

(SBML Level 2 Version 1 only) Sets the 'substanceUnits' attribute of this KineticLaw object to a copy of the identifier given in sid.

Parameters
sidthe identifier of the units to use.
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
Note
The attributes 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' are present only in SBML Level 2 Version 1. In SBML Level 2 Version 2, the 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' attributes were removed. For compatibility with new versions of SBML, users are cautioned to avoid these attributes.
int libsbmlcs.KineticLaw.setTimeUnits ( string  sid)

(SBML Level 2 Version 1 only) Sets the 'timeUnits' attribute of this KineticLaw object to a copy of the identifier in sid.

Parameters
sidthe identifier of the units to use.
Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
Note
The attributes 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' are present only in SBML Level 2 Version 1. In SBML Level 2 Version 2, the 'timeUnits' and 'substanceUnits' attributes were removed. For compatibility with new versions of SBML, users are cautioned to avoid these attributes.
string libsbmlcs.SBase.toSBML ( )
inherited

Returns a string consisting of a partial SBML corresponding to just this object.

Returns
the partial SBML that describes this SBML object.
Warning
This is primarily provided for testing and debugging purposes. It may be removed in a future version of libSBML.
int libsbmlcs.SBase.unsetAnnotation ( )
inherited

Unsets the value of the 'annotation' subelement of this SBML object.

Whereas the SBase 'notes' subelement is a container for content to be shown directly to humans, the 'annotation' element is a container for optional software-generated content not meant to be shown to humans. Every object derived from SBase can have its own value for 'annotation'. The element's content type is XML type 'any', allowing essentially arbitrary well-formed XML data content.

SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.

Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:

getAnnotation()
getAnnotationString()
isSetAnnotation()
setAnnotation(XMLNode annotation)
setAnnotation(string annotation)
appendAnnotation(XMLNode annotation)

int libsbmlcs.SBase.unsetCVTerms ( )
inherited

Clears the list of CVTerm objects attached to this SBML object.

Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
int libsbmlcs.SBase.unsetId ( )
inherited

Unsets the value of the 'id' attribute of this SBML object.

Most (but not all) objects in SBML include two common attributes: 'id' and 'name'. The identifier given by an object's 'id' attribute value is used to identify the object within the SBML model definition. Other objects can refer to the component using this identifier. The data type of 'id' is always either Sid or UnitSId, depending on the object in question. Both data types are defined as follows:

  letter ::= 'a'..'z','A'..'Z'
  digit  ::= '0'..'9'
  idChar ::= letter | digit | '_'
  SId    ::= ( letter | '_' ) idChar*

The equality of SId and UnitSId type values in SBML is determined by an exact character sequence match; i.e., comparisons of these identifiers must be performed in a case-sensitive manner. This applies to all uses of SId and UnitSId.

Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
int libsbmlcs.SBase.unsetMetaId ( )
inherited

Unsets the value of the 'metaid' attribute of this SBML object.

The optional attribute named 'metaid', present on every major SBML component type, is for supporting metadata annotations using RDF (Resource Description Format). The attribute value has the data type XML ID, the XML identifier type, which means each 'metaid' value must be globally unique within an SBML file. (Importantly, this uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type XML ID, not just the 'metaid' attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the 'annotation' subelement happens to use XML ID.) The 'metaid' value serves to identify a model component for purposes such as referencing that component from metadata placed within 'annotation' subelements.

Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
int libsbmlcs.SBase.unsetModelHistory ( )
inherited

Unsets the ModelHistory object attached to this object.

Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
Note
In SBML Level 2, model history annotations were only permitted on the Model element. In SBML Level 3, they are permitted on all SBML components derived from SBase.
int libsbmlcs.SBase.unsetName ( )
inherited

Unsets the value of the 'name' attribute of this SBML object.

Most (but not all) objects in SBML include two common attributes: 'id' and 'name'. In contrast to the 'id' attribute, the 'name' attribute is optional and is not intended to be used for cross-referencing purposes within a model. Its purpose instead is to provide a human-readable label for the component. The data type of 'name' is the type string defined in XML Schema. SBML imposes no restrictions as to the content of 'name' attributes beyond those restrictions defined by the string type in XML Schema.

The recommended practice for handling 'name' is as follows. If a software tool has the capability for displaying the content of 'name' attributes, it should display this content to the user as a component's label instead of the component's 'id'. If the user interface does not have this capability (e.g., because it cannot display or use special characters in symbol names), or if the 'name' attribute is missing on a given component, then the user interface should display the value of the 'id' attribute instead. (Script language interpreters are especially likely to display 'id' instead of 'name'.)

As a consequence of the above, authors of systems that automatically generate the values of 'id' attributes should be aware some systems may display the 'id''s to the user. Authors therefore may wish to take some care to have their software create 'id' values that are: (a) reasonably easy for humans to type and read; and (b) likely to be meaningful, for example by making the 'id' attribute be an abbreviated form of the name attribute value.

An additional point worth mentioning is although there are restrictions on the uniqueness of 'id' values, there are no restrictions on the uniqueness of 'name' values in a model. This allows software applications leeway in assigning component identifiers.

Returns
integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The possible values returned by this function are:
int libsbmlcs.SBase.unsetNotes ( )
inherited

Unsets the value of the 'notes' subelement of this SBML object.

The optional SBML element named 'notes', present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the 'notes' element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the 'notes' element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for 'notes', allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.

The format of 'notes' elements must be XHTML 1.0.
