Symbolic computation allows qualitative answers to biological questions. Qualitative methods analyze dynamical input systems as formal objects, in contrast to investigating only a subset of the state space, as is the case with numerical simulation. However, symbolic computation tools and libraries have a different set of requirements for their input data than their numerical counterparts. A common format used in mathematical modeling of biological processes is SBML. The use of SBML data in symbolic computation requires significant pre-processing, incorporating external biological and mathematical expertise. ODEbase provides high quality symbolic computation input data derived from established existing biomodels.
