Implementation of SBML's Parameter construct.
A Parameter is used in SBML to define a symbol associated with a value; this symbol can then be used in mathematical formulas in a model. By default, parameters have constant value for the duration of a simulation, and for this reason are called parameters instead of variables in SBML, although it is crucial to understand that SBML parameters represent both concepts. Whether a given SBML parameter is intended to be constant or variable is indicated by the value of its "constant" attribute.
SBML's Parameter has a required attribute, "id", that gives the parameter a unique identifier by which other parts of an SBML model definition can refer to it. A parameter can also have an optional "name" attribute of type string
. Identifiers and names must be used according to the guidelines described in the SBML specifications.
The optional attribute "value" determines the value (of type double
) assigned to the parameter. A missing value for "value" implies that the value either is unknown, or to be obtained from an external source, or determined by an initial assignment. The unit of measurement associated with the value of the parameter can be specified using the optional attribute "units". Here we only mention briefly some notable points about the possible unit choices, but readers are urged to consult the SBML specification documents for more information:
In SBML Level 3, there are no constraints on the units that can be assigned to parameters in a model; there are also no units to inherit from the enclosing Model object (unlike the case for, e.g., Species and Compartment).
"substance"
, "time"
, "volume"
, "area"
or "length"
; or the identifier of a new unit defined in the list of unit definitions in the enclosing Model structure. There are no constraints on the units that can be chosen from these sets. There are no default units for parameters. The Parameter structure has another boolean attribute named "constant" that is used to indicate whether the parameter's value can vary during a simulation. (In SBML Level 3, the attribute is mandatory and must be given a value; in SBML Levels below Level 3, the attribute is optional.) A value of true
indicates the parameter's value cannot be changed by any construct except InitialAssignment. Conversely, if the value of "constant" is false
, other constructs in SBML, such as rules and events, can change the value of the parameter.
SBML Level 3 uses a separate object class, LocalParameter, for parameters that are local to a Reaction's KineticLaw. In Levels prior to SBML Level 3, the Parameter class is used both for definitions of global parameters, as well as reaction-local parameters stored in a list within KineticLaw objects. Parameter objects that are local to a reaction (that is, those defined within the KineticLaw structure of a Reaction) cannot be changed by rules and therefore are implicitly always constant; consequently, in SBML Level 2, parameter definitions within Reaction structures should not have their "constant" attribute set to false
.
What if a global parameter has its "constant" attribute set to false
, but the model does not contain any rules, events or other constructs that ever change its value over time? Although the model may be suspect, this situation is not strictly an error. A value of false
for "constant" only indicates that a parameter can change value, not that it must.
As with all other major SBML components, Parameter is derived from SBase, and the methods defined on SBase are available on Parameter.

Parameter::Parameter | ( | SBMLNamespaces * | sbmlns | ) |
Creates a new Parameter 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.
It is worth emphasizing that although this constructor does not take an identifier argument, in SBML Level 2 and beyond, the "id" (identifier) attribute of a Parameter is required to have a value. Thus, callers are cautioned to assign a value after calling this constructor if no identifier is provided as an argument. Setting the identifier can be accomplished using the method setId().

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

Appends the given notes

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.

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 string form.

UnitDefinition * Parameter::getDerivedUnitDefinition | ( | ) |
Constructs and returns a UnitDefinition that corresponds to the units of this Parameter's value.
Parameters in SBML have an attribute ("units") for declaring the units of measurement intended for the parameter's value. No defaults are defined by SBML in the absence of a definition for "units". This method returns a UnitDefinition object based on the units declared for this Parameter using its "units" attribute, or it returns NULL
if no units have been declared.
Note that unit declarations for Parameter objects are specified in terms of the identifier of a unit (e.g., using setUnits()), but this method returns a UnitDefinition object, not a unit identifier. It does this by constructing an appropriate UnitDefinition.For SBML Level 2 models, it will do this even when the value of the "units" attribute is one of the special SBML Level 2 unit identifiers "substance"

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.

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 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 values
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 value

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 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.

bool Parameter::isSetValue | ( | ) | const |
Predicate returning true
if the "value" attribute of this Parameter is set.
In SBML definitions after SBML Level 1 Version 1, parameter values are optional and have no defaults. If a model read from a file does not contain a setting for the "value" attribute of a parameter, its value is considered unset; it does not default to any particular value. Similarly, when a Parameter object is created in libSBML, it has no value until given a value. The Parameter::isSetValue() method allows calling applications to determine whether a given parameter's value has ever been set.
In SBML Level 1 Version 1, parameters are required to have values and therefore, the value of a Parameter should always be set. In Level 1 Version 2 and beyond, the value is optional and as such, the "value" attribute may or may not be set.

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(const XMLNode* annotation) or SBase::appendAnnotation(const std::string& annotation).

Sets the value of the "id" attribute of this Parameter.
The string sid
is copied. Note that SBML has strict requirements for the syntax of identifiers. The following is a summary of the definition of the SBML identifier type
SId
, which defines the permitted syntax of identifiers. We
express the syntax using an extended form of BNF notation:
letter ::= 'a'..'z','A'..'Z' digit ::= '0'..'9' idChar ::= letter | digit | '_' SId ::= ( letter | '_' ) idChar*The characters
(
and )
are used for grouping, the
character *
"zero or more times", and the character
|
indicates logical "or". The equality of SBML identifiers is
determined by an exact character sequence match; i.e., comparisons must be
performed in a case-sensitive manner. In addition, there are a few
conditions for the uniqueness of identifiers in an SBML model. Please
consult the SBML specifications for the exact formulations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
.

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.
