The database component of BioModels.net is especially designed for working with annotated computational models: each model is carefully reviewed and augmented by human annotators on the BioModels.net team to add metadata linking the model elements to other biological databases and resources. The BioModels Database at the EBI system goes far beyond other collections of models by being a true database, featuring browsing, cross-referencing, searching, and facilities for visualization, exporting models in different formats, and remote API access.

The BioModels Importer is such a tool, allowing to search for a specific model (or to quickly access them all). Integrated with SBW the Importer sends a model to JDesigner, Jarnac or any other tool in a snap.
