Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) is an emerging synthetic
biology data exchange standard, designed primarily for unambiguous
and efficient machine-to-machine communication. However, manual editing
of SBOL is generally difficult for nontrivial designs. Here, we describe
ShortBOL, a lightweight SBOL scripting language that bridges the gap
between manual editing, visual design tools, and direct programming.
ShortBOL is a shorthand textual language developed to enable users
to create SBOL designs quickly and easily, without requiring strong
programming skills or visual design tools.
