Generic function BUILD-MODEL-FROM-SBML

Package:

CL-SBML

Syntax:

  build-model-from-sbml source
  => cl-sbml-model, cl-xml-root-object

Arguments and Values:

source---an object

cl-sbml-model---a CL-SBML model

cl-xml-root-object---a CL-XML node

Description:

The generic function BUILD-MODEL-FROM-SBML is the entry point of the CL-SBML library. It takes one parameter, source, where to load a SBML model, and returns two values: a CL-SBML model and a CL-XML object. model is an processed SBML model; e.g. the mathematical formulae have been translated into a S-expression form. The node is the uninterpreted CL-XML representation of the SBML source contents.

Known Methods:

  build-model-from-sbml (source pathname)
  => cl-sbml-model, cl-xml-root-object

This method dispatches on the argument source being a PATHNAME.

```
  build-model-from-sbml (source string)
  => cl-sbml-model, cl-xml-root-object
  
```
This method dispatches on the argument source being a STRING. In this case sbml-string contains the SBML model itself. The argument will not be interpreted as a file name.
```
  build-model-from-sbml (source stream)
  => cl-sbml-model, cl-xml-root-object
  
```
This method dispatches on the argument source being a STREAM. Eventually the STRING and PATHNAME methods call this method.
```
  build-model-from-sbml (source cl-xml-object)
  => cl-sbml-model, cl-xml-root-object
  
```
This method dispatches on the argument source being a CL-XML object (a XQDM:DOC-NODE, i.e. an already parsed XML document.)

Affected By:

None.

Exceptional Situations:

None per se, but the underlying machinery may signal variuos conditions, mostly related to file and streams I/O and to XML parsing.
