Composition

This composite is assembled from the entries below. Each evidence record keeps its own scientific review; a separate composition review assesses why these components were selected and how they are mapped.

Composition provenance

Curation required

Assembled · assessed by provenance-audit · 2026-08-23. Agent assessment is composition review preparation, not human verification.

Industry, dark roofsSelected component

Fills albedo. The record is named 'Industry, dark roofs', declares target land_cover.bldgs, place generic, representativeness generic, source unreferenced and method assumed; Gothenburg survives only as origin history.

BuildingSelected component

Fills emissivity. The record is named Building, declares target land_cover.bldgs, place generic, representativeness generic, applicable_scale land_cover, source jarvi2011 and method literature.

BuildingSelected component

Fills water_storage. The stable Helsinki-path record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name Building, place generic, representativeness generic, applicable_scale land_cover, source jarvi2011 and method literature. Its Helsinki origin preserves migration/application lineage; the value is published as a generic Building parameter.

BuildingSelected component

Fills drainage. The record is named Building, declares target land_cover.bldgs, place generic, representativeness generic and applicable_scale land_cover.

Archived Swedish industrial construction configurationSelected component

Fills construction. The record is named 'Archived Swedish industrial construction configuration', declares target construction, place sweden, representativeness regional, source unreferenced and method assumed; its evidence review identifies an archived internal assembly.

BuildingsSelected component

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.

Archived code-799 roof averageSelected component

Fills ohm.summer_wet, ohm.summer_dry, ohm.winter_wet and ohm.winter_dry. The record is named 'Archived code-799 roof average', declares target ohm_coefficients, and declares no place, no representativeness and no season_label.

Assessment findings

Composite identitysupported
The composite is named Industry. The construction it selects, records/constructions/sweden--unreferenced--industrial, is named 'Archived Swedish industrial construction configuration' and declares place sweden, and the albedo slot takes records/surfaces/bldgs/gothenburg--oke1987--albedo, a generic archived configuration named 'Industry, dark roofs'. Both slots that carry the typology's identity name the same building class without relying on the removed Oke or Gothenburg evidence claims.
Composite targetsupported
The composite's own target, land_cover.bldgs, is right for a building-surface typology, and every slot takes a component declared for it: 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 ohm positions take records declaring target ohm_coefficients. No record under records/surfaces/bldgs or records/ohm declares attaches_to, which in this database is carried only by the profile records, so slot fit here is judged on the components' declared target.
Own parameter valuesnot applicable
The composite declares no parameters block of its own, so it asserts no value beyond the components it selects.
Composition rationalenot applicable
The composite claims no composition source, and the repository records no published rationale for this selection. The components' own sources belong to their evidence assessments, not to this review.
Place applicabilitycuration required
The composite claims Sweden. Construction declares sweden; albedo, emissivity, water storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch are generic; OHM declares no place. The default and placeless substitutions remain a curation decision.
Representativenesscuration required
The regional composite has one regional construction, five generic components, albedo, emissivity, water storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch, and one OHM component with undeclared representativeness. That mixed evidence reach remains a curation decision.
Slot and season mappingsupported
An assembly of existing records into slots; the composite produces no value of its own. records/ohm/generic--jarvi2014--buildings fills all four ohm positions, so the composite draws no summer/winter and no wet/dry distinction, and that record declares no season_label of its own.
Completeness and uniquenesssupported
All seven slots are filled and no second Swedish industry composite exists. The ohm slot is where this composite parts company with its siblings: archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--brick-house-traditional-neighbourhood, archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--concrete-million-program, archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--detached-houses-wood, archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--mixed-city, archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--nordic-functionalism-wood and archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--stone-houses-traditional-neighbourhood all take records/ohm/helsinki--jarvi2014--buildings in the same four positions, while this one takes records/ohm/generic--jarvi2014--buildings. The two are distinct records and nothing in the composite explains the divergence; it is recorded here as a fact rather than read as an error.

Scientific note

The two slots that make this an industrial typology remain coherent as archived configuration choices: the construction is records/constructions/sweden--unreferenced--industrial, place sweden, and the albedo is a generic, unreferenced configuration named 'Industry, dark roofs' whose Gothenburg origin is migration history. Albedo, emissivity, snowpack_limit, water storage and drainage are generic. The record set forces those selections because the database holds no Swedish row for those building properties. What deserves a maintainer's attention is the coefficient slot. All four ohm positions take records/ohm/generic--jarvi2014--buildings, an archived code-799 record that declares neither place nor representativeness, where every other Swedish building composite takes records/ohm/helsinki--jarvi2014--buildings. A country-scale default resting on that placeless legacy row, and diverging from its siblings for no recorded reason, is a curation decision rather than something this review can settle. The same is true of the composite's declared regional reach, which no component except the construction supports. Neither question requires a component value to change; both live in the composite.
