Abstract:
The Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) is an international community effort to standardize the visualization of pathways and networks, making them accessible to scientists from diverse fields while facilitating efficient and ac-curate knowledge exchange among research communities, industry, and other stakeholders in systems biology. SBGN consists of three complementary languages - Entity Relationship (ER), Activity Flow (AF), and Process Description (PD) - each addressing biological and biochemical systems at varying levels of detail. PD, closely aligned with the metabolic and regulatory pathways found in biological literature, books, and academic courses, provides well-defined semantics for precisely representing biological information. The PD language uses a graph structure to represent mechanistic and temporal relationships of biological interactions and transformations. It incorporates distinct node types, including entity pools (e.g., metabolites, proteins, genes, and complexes) and processes (e.g., reactions and associations), with edges representing the connections between nodes (e.g., consumption, production, stimulation, and inhibition). This document details Level 1 Version 2.1 of the PD specification, including several improvements over the previous version (Level 1 Version 2.0): 1) refinements to document structure and terminology, 2) clarifications and updates to specification content, and 3) updated figures and rules.

In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
