COMBINE is a network formed by the communities developing standards and formats to share computational models. Working together, it is expected that the federated projects will develop a set of interoperable standards covering all the aspects of computational modeling. Building on the experience of mature projects, which already have stable specifications, software support, user-base and community governance, COMBINE helps foster or support fledgling efforts aimed at filling gaps or new needs.

The standard description formats would ultimately cover the various types of models used in biology, the different views of a model and the different steps of the modeling and simulation activity. This matrix is currently sparse, but new projects are launched on a regular basis. See the our page on standards for a list of existing efforts.
