Community
This is the SBGN wiki, a community-editable area where members of the SBGN community can write about SBGN topics and proposals for SBGN's continued evolution. This wiki is more suitable for writing longer and more static documents, whereas the SBGN discussion forum is more suitable to rapid dialogue between people.

SBGN being as new as it is, there is a lot of exciting ongoing development taking place. We gather information about activities below.
SBGN specification working materials
The Documents/Specifications page provides links to the current working drafts of the SBGN specifications.
