Introduction Abstraction Hierarchy Devices Standard Parts
Introduction • English-like language for the formal specification of standard biological devices. • Intended for forward engineering of DNA-based devices. • Targeted for use by biological engineers. • XML version of the language for the purpose of data exchange over the internet. • Graphical version • Visual BioBrick Open Language (vBOL) • Encourage and support model-driven engineering. • Analogous to the relationship between C# and UML
Introduction • Open Standard • Balance top-down control with bottom-up community development • Open communication • Rigorous definition of symbols, syntax, and grammar. • Abstract tool for solving concrete problems. • Balance a philosophically consistent framework with utility for solving concrete problems. • Rigorous and consistent structure • Concrete software tools • Concrete Synthetic Biology projects
