In this paper, we present the generic Data Model Tools for L-Systems (DML). The work combines a novel application area with databases in Bioinformatics. DML allows specification of database structures and queries in terms of objects and relations specific to scientific L- system applications. L-systems have been used in many scientific areas. However, not much consideration has been given to persistent storage and querying of the large quantities of data resulting from these L-system simulations. Major limitations of current database products mean that they can not support the map between L-systems and database systems. We find it hard to use any of the existing database products to build a system to satisfy the needs of researcher using L-systems . The research presented in this paper focuses on providing a bridge between L-systems and database systems. The work contributes a schema generator and population translator from L-Systems to Database Systems in the scientific area of generic branching structure.
