Given the high multi-disciplinarity of Molecular Communications (MolCom), researchers often face significant difficulties to understand each other. This impairment not only affect researchers with different backgrounds, but it also affects the different software tools. This paper motivates the development of the Molecular Communication Markup Language (MolComML). MolComML is proposed as an XML-based format to represent the considered elements, interactions, configuration and results of the experiments and simulations in the field of MolCom. MolComML is designed with the objective of converging all fields of research within Mol-Com to help the exchange of information. We overview its main functionality and define its basic composing elements.
