The NMM Development Model schema is the current version under development.

It is used to describe how the codebase and its component(s) are actually configured when a model/job/simulation/experiment (however you call it) is run. Thus it describes an instance of the codebase/component(s).

NOTE: This is development version and may not work and will be changed!

• a unique ID for the model
• general information about the model such as name, description of why it was run, contact, documentation, history etc
• Technical Properties
  general information about the computer on which the model was compiled/run
• Numerical Properties
  information on horizontal, vertical and time schemes used in the model
• Science Properties
  information on the configuration and settings/values of the science parameters
• Input/Output Properties
  information on initial/restart files, boundary conditions etc
