-  * A **Modelbase** can be thought of as a model "​library"​ - a collection of independent model families. ​[Any other comments on what organizational benefit/​function the modelbase provides?] FIXME +  * 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. ​[discuss ownership, permissions and any other relevant functionality of the model family level of organization] FIXME+  * 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.   * **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).
