## Abstract

This document specifies CellMLTM 1.0, an XML-based language for describing and exchanging models of cellular and subcellular processes. MathML embedded in CellML documents is used to define the underlying mathematics of models. Models consist of a network of re-usable components, each with variables and equations manipulating those variables. Metadata may be embedded in CellML documents using RDF.
