Approaches to adding NeuroML support¶
There are a number of ways that a neuronal simulator can add “support for NeuroML”, depending on how deeply it embeds/supports the elements of the language.
Commonly used approaches¶
1) Native support for NeuroML elements¶
A simulator may have an equivalent internal representation of the core concepts from NeuroML2/LEMS, and so be able to natively read/write these formats.
2) Native ability to import NeuroML elements¶
Another approach is for simulators to natively support importing (a subset of) NeuroML models, whereby the NeuroML components are converted to the equivalent entities in the simulator’s internal representation of the model.
