Describing and Cataloging Computational Models
This site presents a Metadata standard for computer models developed by the National Centre for Geographical Information and Analysis in the USA. It is known as the Content Standard for Computation Models (CSCM) and was developed for the purpose of the incorporation of computer models into digital libraries. The latest version of the standard was published in October 2001. It specifies the information content of metadata about the content, quality, condition, and other characteristics of the specified model. The purpose of the standard is to provide a common set of terminology and definitions for concepts related to these metadata. The CSCM has not been implemented, but is designed to promote discussion in the field.
The site includes an introduction to the concept of metadata and presents a project to develop a metadata standard for computer models. A sample of computational models available over the Web is presented and the CSCM standard can be downloaded as a Word document. There is also a list of references to models and metadata.
