Looking at CSDMS Model Naming scheme indicates some formal semantics. OWL export/dump is available May need to be looked at whether any of its modeling decisions / ontological commitments need to be scrutinized. Highly potential to be (at least) a “foundational” component of a physical science ontology.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum
What next? Remark: the existing string-based convention suffices for the current needs. But: there may be more use cases not covered by existing scheme. Smarter / cross-repository scientific-model discovery? More machine-processable way to communicate model description (reducing human interaction)? Checking model consistency / uncovering hidden or missed assumption in the models being connected?
