SBOL 2.0 Specification Released

[jakebeal]

Of interest to this working group, the SBOL 2.0 specification has just been officially released.

It is available online at: http://sbolstandard.org/downloads/specification-data-model-2-0/

Major new capabilities of SBOL version 2.0 over the prior 1.x include:

- Beyond DNA, designs can include RNA, proteins, and other components

- Designs can associate function with structure and link to external models

- Rich annotation of biological designs, for integration with non-SBOL design information

This specification is complemented by the 2.0 beta release of libSBOLj (available at: https://github.com/SynBioDex/libSBOLj/releases), a library implementing the SBOL 2.0 specification in order to allow simple integration of the new SBOL capabilities into software tools.

Thanks,
