Abstract		We present the EraSysBio+ European project BioModUE_PTL (2010-2013), which addresses open questions regarding the actual contraction mechanisms of the uterus leading to onset of labour. Seven project partners from four EU countries (France, the Netherlands, Iceland, Slovenia) participate in the project, among them the authors' institution (Institute for Biostatistics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana). Data standards for smooth muscle EMG and EHG digital recordings and preterm delivery models will be designed. The data, acquired from animal and human experiments, will be used to create a multiscale model of the behaviour of the uterus (cells, tissue, and organ). A database of the smooth muscle EMG/EHG activity signals will be designed based on an application profile agreed on the European level.
