Mathematical models spanning from the molecular level through to whole populations of individuals must be integrated, then personalized. This requires interoperability with multiple disparate and geographically separated data sources, and myriad computational software tools. Extracting and producing knowledge from such sources, even when the databases and software are readily available, is a challenging task. Despite the difficulties, researchers must frequently perform these tasks so that available knowledge can be continually integrated into the common framework required to realize the Human Physiome. Software and infrastructures that support the communities that generate these, together with their underlying standards to format, describe and interlink the corresponding data and computer models, are pivotal to the Human Physiome being realized. They provide the foundations for integrating, exchanging and re-using data and models efficiently, and correctly, while also supporting the dissemination of growing knowledge in these forms. In this paper, we explore the standards, software tooling, repositories and infrastructures that support this work, and detail what makes them vital to realizing the Human Physiome.}, language = {en} } @article{HollmannFrohmeEndrullatetal.2020, author = {Hollmann, Susanne and Frohme, Marcus and Endrullat, Christoph and Kremer, Andreas and D'Elia, Domenica and Regierer, Babette and Nechyporenko, Alina}, title = {Ten simple rules on how to write a standard operating procedure}, series = {PLOS Computational Biology}, volume = {16}, journal = {PLOS Computational Biology}, number = {9}, publisher = {PLOS}, address = {San Francisco}, pages = {10}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Research publications and data nowadays should be publicly available on the internet and, theoretically, usable for everyone to develop further research, products, or services.
