Developer FAQ

Why are there no biological semantics in the core, given that Cytoscape is targeted to biologists?
- Biological semantics are poorly defined, so any model we build that assumes a given biological model will be wrong and will change frequently over time. By keeping the core of Cytoscape generic and free of bio semantics, we can add bio semantics as plugins as we need them and multiple people can add their own semantics without creating conflicts.
- Keeping biology out of the core helps us think a bit more generally about the functionality of the software.
