| + | * A **Modelbase** can be thought of as a model "library" - a collection of independent model families. | ||
| + | * A **Model family** contains the logic and all related scenario and historical data for a particular model. When users refer to 'the model' they are usually referring to a particular model family. | ||
| + | * **Framework** - a model family typically contains two frameworks - one for future simulation and another for historical calibration (though a model family may have only a simulation framework). Simulator and calibrator frameworks in the same model family are strongly connected by cross-framework variable links to maintain structural integrity between the historical and simulation time periods. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here's an example modelbase which has three model families, of which two have both simulator and calibrator frameworks and one which has only a simulator framework: | ||

| + | * myModels (modelbase) | ||
| + | * North American Energy Model (model family) | ||
| + | * simulator (framework) | ||
| + | * calibrator (framework) | ||
| + | * Melbourne Land Use Model (model family) | ||
| + | * simulator (framework) | ||
| + | * calibrator (framework) | ||
| + | * Activity Based Costing Model (model family) | ||
| + | * simulator (framework) | ||
