The CellML project

Welcome to cellml.org.

The CellML language is an open standard based on the XML markup language. CellML is being developed by the Auckland Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland and affiliated research groups.

The purpose of CellML is to store and exchange computer-based mathematical models. CellML allows scientists to share models even if they are using different modelling tools. It also enables them to reuse components from one model in another, thus accelerating model development. Read more...

Tools

The CellML community is committed to providing freely available tools for creating, editing, and using CellML models.

Model repository

The model repository is a resource where modelers can collaborate with each other to build and share models with the rest of the world.

Specifications

Read the CellML specifications - core language and a variety of metadata specifications are available.

Community

CellML is built around open source science and software. The cellml.org website is a community hub for all things CellML.

CellML workshop 2010
The 2010 CellML workshop was held at The University of Auckland from Wednesday 24th - Friday 26th February. The meeting was a huge success and we'd like to thank all the participants - both present and virtually present!
