The nanodevice tag is root level tag of nanoML, a markup language for nanodevices and nanosystems.  It is intended to promote communication between researchers and other interested parties with respect to all aspects of nanodevices.

Addresses steps to create the nanodevice and/or integrate it with other nanodevices.

The creation tag explains the steps necessary to fabricate the nanodevice (whether these step are currently feasible or not).  Contents are TBD.

Describes the mechanisms available for integrating this nanodevice with other nanodevices and the associated properties of the interfaces.

An area on the nanodevice available for chemical bonding.  Contents are TBD.

A bounding box contains either the width or the spatial extents of the nanodevice along the default axes (possibly as a function of orientation or other parameters).

X-axis width or spatial extents. 

Y-axis width or spatial extents. 

Z-axis width or spatial extents. 

A bounding sphere specifies the center and radius of a sphere that entirely contains the nanodevice.

Center of the bounding sphere.

Radius of the bounding sphere.

Describes spatial bounds as a bounding box or bounding sphere.  The origin of the nanodevice is arbitrary may be specified in the molecular structure data , if provided elsewhere in the nanoML file.

A bounding box contains either the width or the spatial extents of the nanodevice along the default axes (possibly as a function of orientation or other parameters).

A bounding sphere specifies the center and radius of a sphere that entirely contains the nanodevice.

A buckyball.  Contains no  data other than the normal molecule data, but this tag serves to indicate that this moelcule is a buckyball.

A collection of the nanodevice's chemical properties.

Energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital.

Energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital.

The ability to track time.

The frequency of the primary oscillator.

The accuracy of time interval measurements.

The accuracy with respect to a standard time scale.

The ability of the nanodevice to communicate with other nanodevices or the outside world.

The rate at which data can be successfully trasmitted or received.

The ability of the nanodevice to communicate with other nanodevices or the outside world.

The nanodevice's ability to transmit data.

The nanodevice's ability to receive data.

The ability of the nanodevice to perform computation.

The amount of data available for volatile processing and permanent storage.

The speed of the processor and the number of bits it can process at a time.

Describes a connection between 2 nanodevices.

A connection is ordinarily described by references to device ID and interface ID (as a combination of 2 existing nanodevice interfaces).  In cases where that combination provides insufficient information to describe the connection's properties, an interface element may be specified.

This is a placeholder for a description of the control processes for the nanodevice.  Content is TBD.

Attributes specify the relative origin (x,y,z), relative orientation (q1,q2,q3,q4; Euler Symmetric Parameters) and relative scale (sx,sy,sz) of a coordinate system with respect to its parent.  For relative motion, a velocity vector (vx, vy, vz) and angular velocity vector (wx, wy, wz) may also be specified.

The creation tag explains the steps necessary to fabricate the nanodevice (whether these step are currently feasible or not).

Contains a description of the nanodevice.

A free-form text description of the nanodevice of unlimited length.

A list of keywords pertaining to the nanodevice to aid in searches.

Describes the chemical structure of the nanodevice.
