Edinburgh Pathway Editor Description

A free visual editor for the annotation, visualization and presentation of wide variety of biological networks Edinburgh Pathway Editor is a free and easy to use visual editor designed for annotation, visualization and presentation of wide variety of biological networks, including metabolic, genetic and signal transduction pathways. Edinburgh Pathway Editor is based on a metadata driven architecture, which makes it very flexible in drawing, storing, presenting and exporting information related to the network of interest. Edinburgh Pathway Editor allows visual representation to field standards (SBGN), storage and retrieval of annotation such as kinetic and other numerical data in relational databases (local and remote for enterprise development) and links graphical objects to external databases and web resources to show all available information on demand.Edinburgh Pathway Editoruses a small number of basic objects to represent main concepts of the biological network. "Shape" represents the biological object or subsystem, treated as "a black box" with number of Ports interfacing with it. Process visualises sequences of events e.g. a biochemical reaction or protein interaction. Link is used to represent any pair-wise relation between objects including "identity" or "act on" relations. Label is a visual object to represent textual information and to allow links to other maps and resources. The Edinburgh Pathway Editorconcept of "context" separates metadata and visual standards from pathway maps and pathway data. It allows one to tune the "drawing palette" for selected type of map. With the context one could create a new object with special customised properties. The context is a collection of objects, their properties and their default values. The context allows the user to create new objects on the basis of existent ones. The context property editor provides a great flexibility in the description of storage standards and the visual presentation.
