This page is devoted to describing the [[IVOA.IVOATheorySimDB][SimDB]] data model (!SimDB/DM from now on).

---+ TODO
   * OK on approach?
      * analysis(conceptual)->logical->physical
      * TAP+XML
   * Identify main issues of model
      * sufficiently detailed resources?
      * characterisation
      * normalisation (problem for XML, little for TAP)
      * "queriability" (problem for TAP)
      * missing semantic vocabularies
      * quantities/units
   * Clean up
      * documentation in the UML
      * Description of model in Note
   * finalise the serialisation to TAP
      * which OR mapping approaches
   * finalise the serialisation to XML schema
      * multiple packages
      * identifiers
   * reuseby other specs
      * SimDAP
      * S3


---+ Some scattered notes and remarks
for historical purposes
---++ Current model
As described [[IVOA.IVOATheorySimDB][here]] all development can be followed on Volute.
Particularly relevant for the discussion on this page is the data model in [[http://volute.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/projects/theory/snapdm/specification/uml/SimDB_DM.xml][uml/SimDB_DM.xml]].
The previous versions as well as later working versions can be found in the history of this file, as well as its direct predecessor  [[http://volute.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/projects/theory/snapdm/input/SimDB_DM.xml][version r902]].

see also It is meant to reflect the proposal and incorporate conclusions from the [[IVOA.IVOATheorySimDBDMDiscussion][discussions page]].

---++ Examples of Protocols
For discussion purposes it will be good to have a list of real protocols, i.e. simulation and post-processing codes and algorithms.

Examples of protocols:

Simulators:
   * Gadget (http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/gadget/)
   * Enzo ...
   * Flash ...
   * Nemo ...
   * Ramses ...
   * L-Galaxies (MPA semi-analytical (SAM) galaxy formation code)
   * !GalForm (Durham SAM code)
   * !GalICS (Horizon SAM)
   * ...

Pure post-processors:
cluster finders
   * FOF cluster finders (various implementations)
   * SUBFIND cluster finder (Springel etal 2001, [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001MNRAS.328..726S][ADS]])
   * ...
others
   *
