Several example OMEX Metadata files are available from the BioSimulators test suite .

Although metadata can be described across multiple OMEX Metadata files, this form is limited to validating a single OMEX Metadata file. As a result, individual files which only contain part of the metadata about a COMBINE/OMEX archive may fail this validation when not validated together with additional metadata files that together meet BioSimulations' minimal metadata conventions. In contrast, the validation of simulation projects, evaluates BioSimulations' minimal metadata conventions considering metadata in all OMEX Metadata files in the COMBINE/OMEX archive for the project.

This form cannot validate thumbnail images described in OMEX Metadata files. More comprehensive validation, including of linked image files, is available through the validation of simulation projects. Click here to more comprehensively validate OMEX Metadata files.

Uploaded files are limited to 64 MB. Files up to 1 GB can be submitted via URLs.
