The CellML API (upstream website: http://cellml-api.sf.net/) is an 
application programming interface, along with a complete reference 
implementation, for manipulating and processing mathematical models in 
the CellML format (http://www.cellml.org/). It is tri-licensed under the 
GPL / LGPL and MPL licenses (i.e. can be used under any one of the three).

This packaging enables all the main features of the API implementation:
  * Core library for manipulating arbitrary CellML mathematical models. 
This includes a W3C DOM and W3C MathML DOM implementation.
  * RDF processing library for processing CellML metadata.
  * CellML Variable Association Service to simplify working with models 
where the same variable is split across multiple components (possibly 
imported from multiple files).
  * CellML Units Simplification and Expansion Service, for processing 
physical units as required by the CellML specifications.
  * MathML to Language Export Service, for converting MathML 
mathematical expressions into text in a customisable way.
  * CellML Code Generation Service, for converting from CellML models 
into imperative code for solving systems of differential-algebraic 
equations described in the model.
  * CellML Integration Service, for running numerical simulations 
described in CellML models with SUNDIALS IDA.
  * Text Language for the Input of CellML Models Service, for 
converting to and from a plain-text format, to facilitate the input and 
display of CellML models by and to end users.
  * CellML Language Export Definition Service, for processing XML files 
that describe how to translate a CellML model into imperative code in a 
particular language.
  * SED-ML Processing Service, for manipulating simulation experiment 
descriptions in Simulation Experiment Description Markup Language 
(http://sedml.org)
  * SED-ML Running Service, for running simulation experiments 
described in SED-ML.
  * Documentation generated from the IDL files and supplementary 
documentation files by Doxygen.
  * Java bindings.
  * Development package with C++ headers and libraries.

Packages are up on mentors.d.n:
  http://mentors.debian.net/package/cellml-api
Repository containing the debian directory is up at:
  git://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/cellml-api.git

Package quality: The package is Lintian clean except for spurious 
warnings about hardening (hardening is enabled, but some of the shared 
objects don't use anything from glibc that can be hardened, and so 
trigger false positive warnings) and 'shlib-calls-exit' (which is caused 
by the use of a C++ flex scanner). The docs package also has a 
duplicate-files warning, but this is a consequence of using Doxygen.

In addition, I have manually checked the package for compliance with the 
Debian Science policy, and believe it complies.

Best wishes,
Andrew Miller
