Model Metadata

This folder contains metadata files for each team-models submitting to the RSV Scenario Modeling Hub.

Each model is required to have metadata in yaml format and should contains required information and be stored in a team-model specific sub-directory.

Subdirectory

Each sub-directory within the model-metadata/ directory has the format:

team-model

where

  • team is the abbraviated teamname (team_abbr) and
  • model is the abbreviated name of your model (model_abbr).

Both team and model should be less than 15 characters, and not include hyphens nor spaces.

The team-model should correspond to the team-model sub-directory in the associated model-output folder containing the associated projections.

Required information

team_name

The name of your team that is less than 50 characters, no spaces. Will be displayed online.

model_name

The name of your model that is less than 50 characters, no spaces. Will be displayed online.

Abbreviation

model_abbr

An abbreviated name for your model that is less than 30 alphanumeric characters (_ also accepted, please avoid using other punctuation characters including -, /, etc.).

team_abbr

An abbreviated name for your team that is less than 30 alphanumeric characters. (_ also accepted, please avoid using other punctuation characters including -, /, etc.).

Team-model name and filename

The team-model abbreviation used in all the file names must be in the format of [team_abbr]-[model_abbr], where each of the [team_abbr] and [model_abbr] are text strings that are each less than 15 alphanumeric characters that do not include a hyphen or whitespace.

Note that this is a uniquely identifying field in our system, so please choose this name carefully, as it may not be changed once defined. The model abbreviation will be displayed online.

A list of all individuals involved in the forecasting effort, affiliations, and email address.

At least one contributor needs to have a valid email address. All email addresses provided will be added to an email distribution list for model contributors.

The syntax of this field should be

If you have additionally a data repository where you store scenarios and other model code, please include that in your methods section below.

If you only have a more technical site, e.g. github repo, please include that link here. Will be displayed online.
