Network Interchange for NEuroscience (NineML) is a simulator-independent language with the aim of providing an unambiguous description of neuronal network models for efficient model sharing and reusability (http://nineml.net).
NineML emerged from a joint effort of experts in the fields of computational neuroscience, simulator development and simulator-independent language initiatives (NeuroML, PyNN), grouped in the INCF Multiscale Modeling Task Force. This effort was initiated and is still supported by the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), as part of the standardization effort of the Multiscale Modeling Program, but the project is now run as a community project.
If running from Ubuntu linux or some other linux flavour it may not be enough to simply install the base distribution that comes with a latex editing environment you to compile this document you be required to install the texlive-full package.
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-full
Build the pdf
$ cd latex
$ pdflatex NineMLSpec.tex
$ bibtex NineMLSpec
$ pdflatex NineMLSpec.tex
$ pdflatex NineMLSpec.tex
In addition to this main NineML repository (http://github.com/INCF/nineml), which only contains the specification document and XML schema, there are related repositories that are maintained by the NineML team (see http://nineml.net/committee).
- lib9ML (http://github.com/INCF/lib9ML): A Python library for reading, writing and manipulating NineML descriptions
- NineMLCatalog (http://github.com/INCF/NineMLCatalog): A collection of example NineML models written in XML.
