| **Database model** - a model (or //framework//) which runs over an observed historical period, usually with the purpose of assembling an internally-consistent historical database. Its conceptual purpose can be the same of a //calibrator// framework except that a database model is not linked to a counterpart //simulator// framework. | **Database model** - a model (or //framework//) which runs over an observed historical period, usually with the purpose of assembling an internally-consistent historical database.
