Fills albedo. The record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Central London', place london, representativeness site, applicable_scale land_cover, source ward2016 and method fitted.
Fills emissivity. The record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Central London', place london, representativeness city and source ward2016.
Fills water_storage. The record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Buildings', place se-england, representativeness regional and source jarvi2011.
Fills drainage. The record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Buildings', place se-england, representativeness regional and source ward2018.
Fills construction. The record declares target construction, name 'Central London [sample run]', place london, representativeness city, source unreferenced and method assumed. Its three roof and three wall thicknesses follow historical code 801; the sample-run marker identifies an explicit retained configuration, while roof layer three has no proven material record.
Fills snow_lim_patch. The stable path and origin retain Helsinki migration lineage, while the record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Buildings', place generic, representativeness generic, applicable_scale land_cover, source jarvi2014 and method literature, and carries snowpack_limit. It is the only buildings snowpack_limit record in the database.
Fills the summer_wet and summer_dry ohm slots. The record declares target ohm_coefficients, name 'Code 798 x Multiplier for summer [7981]', season_label Summer and source ward2016, and declares neither place nor representativeness.
Fills the winter_wet and winter_dry ohm slots. The record declares target ohm_coefficients, name 'Code 798 x Multiplier for winter [7982]', season_label Winter and source ward2016, and declares neither place nor representativeness.
| Composite identity | supported The name field of the composite reads 'Central London, Ward et al. (2016)', its place field london and its origin field 'London, UK'. Four of the eight components declare source ward2016. Four do not: records/surfaces/bldgs/se-england--ward2016--water-storage declares source jarvi2011, records/surfaces/bldgs/se-england--ward2016--drainage declares source ward2018, records/constructions/uk--lindberg-f2020--central-london-sample-run declares source unreferenced and method assumed, and records/surfaces/bldgs/helsinki--jarvi2014--snow-lim declares source jarvi2014. They fill water storage, drainage, the thermal layer stack and the snowpack limit, so the label identifies the typology correctly while falling short of a complete statement of provenance. |
|---|---|
| Composite target | supported The composite declares target land_cover.bldgs, which agrees with its position under archetypes/surfaces/bldgs. The albedo, emissivity, water_storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch slots each take a record declaring target land_cover.bldgs; the construction slot takes a record declaring target construction; and the four ohm slots take records declaring target ohm_coefficients. This is one of the few composites where the season mapping can be checked against the components, and it is right: records/ohm/generic--ward2016--buildings declares season_label Summer and fills summer_wet and summer_dry, while records/ohm/generic--ward2016--buildings--code-798-x-multiplier-for-winter-7982 declares season_label Winter and fills winter_wet and winter_dry. Neither record distinguishes wet from dry, so taking the same row for both wetness states within a season is the only mapping their content supports. None of these records declares attaches_to, which in this database appears only on the profile and snow-profile records, so the SUEWS field each slot writes is fixed by the slot name alone and cannot be cross-checked against the component. |
| Own parameter values | not applicable The composite declares no parameters block, so it overrides no component value. |
| Composition rationale | not applicable The composite claims no composition source, and the repository records no published rationale for assembling these particular records into a Central London building typology. The sources of the components belong to their own evidence assessments, not to this review. |
| Place applicability | curation required The composite claims place london. The albedo and emissivity rows and the construction are place london; the water storage and drainage rows are place se-england, a subnational place in the same country. The snowpack limit is the database's sole buildings snowpack_limit record, now correctly documented as a generic Järvi land-cover default; its Helsinki path and origin retain migration lineage. Two components declare no place at all: records/ohm/generic--ward2016--buildings and records/ohm/generic--ward2016--buildings--code-798-x-multiplier-for-winter-7982 carry no place field, so nothing in them either supports or contradicts the London claim. The construction carries the name 'Central London [sample run]' and its mapped roof and wall materials carry the sample-run marker while roof layer three has no proven material record, so the thermal layer stack of this archetype rests on a sample configuration rather than a surveyed London stock. This composite is the buildings default for twelve region archetypes, so the decision reaches far beyond London. |
| Representativeness | curation required The composite is classed city. The London construction is classed city; the London albedo is site evidence; emissivity and snowpack limit are generic; and the two SE England water rows are regional. Extending the site albedo to the city composite requires curation. The two OHM rows declare no representativeness field at all, so for a quarter of the assembly the scale the composite claims cannot be checked against the component. That is not universal among generic rows, since records/ohm/generic--unreferenced--paved--asphalt-902 does declare both place and representativeness, so a maintainer should decide whether an OHM row may fill a place-bearing and scale-bearing composite while declaring neither. |
| Slot and season mapping | supported An assembly of existing records into slots; the composite produces no value of its own. |
| Completeness and uniqueness | supported Eight distinct components fill the seven slots a buildings archetype carries, with the four ohm slots split by season across two records. No other surviving archetype carries an identical uses block. archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/swindon-uk--suburban-residential-ward-et-al-2016 is close but differs by taking the Swindon albedo and emissivity rows in place of the London ones. The former OBTESTCASE surface was retired with its sole typology consumer under issue 58. |
This is the most internally coherent composite in the batch on source and the most consequential on reach. Three of its eight components declare source ward2016: the fitted London albedo and the two OHM rows. Emissivity and water storage trace to generic jarvi2011 literature values, while drainage declares source ward2018. The seasonal OHM mapping is genuinely correct: the summer-labelled row fills both summer slots and the winter-labelled row fills both winter slots, with no wet or dry distinction in either record to honour. Three points need a maintainer. The fitted albedo is site evidence applied to a city composite. The construction is records/constructions/uk--lindberg-f2020--central-london-sample-run, whose own name reads 'Central London [sample run]' and whose mapped layers use sample-run materials while roof layer three has no proven material record, so the thermal stack of the Central London default is a sample configuration rather than surveyed stock. And the two OHM rows declare neither place nor representativeness, so for a quarter of the assembly the London and city claims cannot be checked against the component. These matter beyond one archetype because twelve region archetypes take this composite as their buildings default. The generic Järvi snowpack default is forced because no other buildings snowpack_limit record exists. This review does not revisit any component value.
