(notes made during conversation with Marcus Brueggen on use of a 
simulation database)

Would like to be able to get information/query on:
   * size of box
   * time scales
   * physics used:
      * star formation
      * cosmology
      * hydro
      * particles
      * chemical reactions
      * nuclear reactions
      * gravity
      * radiation
      * MHD
      * cosmic rays
      * feedback
      * ...
   * algorithms used:
      * mesh resolution
      * amr
   * how many particles/cells
   * what is simulated  
   * initial conditions (linked to target)
      * glassy
      * cosmological (initial redshift)
      * galaxy disk in equilibrium
      * galaxy merger configuration
      * galaxy cluster in hydrostatic equilibrium
   * resolution (not trivial to define)
      * size smallest grid cell
      * smallest smoothing radius SPH particles
      * gravitational (plumber) smoothing length
   * what is in results, mainly:
      * point particles
      * SPH particles
      * (adaptive) mesh cells
   * log files (for Flash in particular) very useful
