kineticLaw's sboTerm should point to "rate-law" Cf. 1631161 #15

Closed sbmlsecretary closed 2 years ago

L2V2r1 page 78 line 25

Should the attribute sboTerm of a "kineticLaw" contain the ID of an SBO term belonging to the rate-law subranch instead of the more general mathematical expression? In other word, can an SBML kineticLaw contain something that does not correspond to the definition: "mathematical description that relates quantities of reactants to the reaction velocity."

This change does not imply a schema modification.

(I put a low priority, because a rate-law being a mathematical expression, the current spec is right anyway)

I am accepting this issue as valid problem.

I agree with the proposed change and that it should be done.

I would say yes, but with two caveats. First, I'm surprised you would be suggesting narrowing the scope to (effectively) rate laws, since you are the one who always says how SBML is bigger than just reaction networks and how shouldn't be constrained from trying to express other kinds of procesess ;-).

The second point (which is more SBO than SBML) is that I think we previous concluded the term "reaction velocity" is a poor choice because of its connotations to enzyme kinetics. Perhaps a more neutral term could be used?
