Introduction to Satellite Meeting on Overview and Use of Standards and Formats Relevant to MSM
1 like427 views
The document discusses the importance of sharing models in research to enhance reproducibility and reusability, noting that insufficient detail often hampers these efforts. It outlines various types of models and the challenges associated with sharing, such as immature formats and the complexity of standards. The meeting aims to provide an overview of common model representations and standards, along with demonstrations and discussions of related resources.

- 4. Sharing models is important • Believability of results • Reproducibility of research - Publications often lack sufficient detail to reproduce a model • Reusability of work products - Easier to reuse more likely to be reused Making models sharable is not always easy • Sharing requires more work time funding • Immature formats and software pose obstacles • Diversity + complexity = confusion Motivations for this meeting

- 6. Overview common formalisms • Goal: provide background and context Describe standards and formats useful for a subset of problems • Goal: provide guidance and starting points - Scope is limited by time (and us) ‣ Next year, perhaps another satellite can take on another part of the overall patchwork of standards/formats? Demonstrate actual use • Goal: provide concrete illustrations Goals for this meeting
