title: Tools for the SBML Community.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  SBML is quickly becoming the standard format to exchange biochemical models. The tools presented in this paper are loosely-coupled, and are intended to be incorporated into SBML aware applications. The rationale for this is to reduce the amount of repeated work carried out within the community and to create tools that offer a greater number of features to the end-user.
