Specification for formula format

Which problem would you like to address? Please describe.
Lack of specification of the format for formulae (e.g. observable/noise formulae) in PEtab tables.

Describe the solution you would like
A specification that clarifies acceptable/unacceptable (usage of) symbols (e.g. accepted functions).

Describe alternatives you have considered
One possibility is to use the specification for SBML L3 formulae.

Additional context
The current issue is that many published models use e.g. beta and gamma as parameter IDs, but SymPy interprets these as the Beta and Gamma functions, resulting in linting errors in libpetab-python.

Don't mind what the specification is in the end (e.g. whether beta is considered a function or model component), since it's easy enough to e.g. rename beta to beta_. The point of the specification would be for consistency in the interpretation of formulae between different PEtab tools.

Start by comparing the requested PEtab formula rules with the SBML L3 formula specification and the reported SymPy interpretation of beta and gamma. Define acceptable symbols and functions, including how names such as beta are treated, then verify that the specification gives different PEtab tools a consistent interpretation.
