Database of ion channel models

This is to announce the availability of the initial release of ChannelDB,
an implementation of a database of ionic conductance models stored in
simulator-independent NeuroML format. It was developed as a means of
sharing channel models between different neural simulators.

The NeuroML development kit parser (from http://www.neuroml.org) is used to
create Java objects from the NeuroML format (XML) files stored in the
database. These are then accessed with Java software to create simulation
scripts for the particular simulator. The first implementation of a parser
to create simulation scripts is (of course) for GENESIS.

We are releasing version 1.0 of ChannelDB with all source code in the hope
that others will contribute to its development and to add parsers for
other simulators. To find out more about ChannelDB, and to download it,
go to http://www.modelersworkspace.org.
