Fills albedo. The record is named 'Suburban residential', declares target land_cover.bldgs, place swindon, representativeness site, applicable_scale land_cover, source ward2016 and method fitted.
Fills emissivity. The record is named 'Suburban residential', declares target land_cover.bldgs, place swindon and representativeness city.
Fills water_storage. The record is named Buildings, declares target land_cover.bldgs, place se-england and representativeness regional.
Fills drainage. The record is named Buildings, declares target land_cover.bldgs, place se-england and representativeness regional.
Fills construction. The record is named 'Central London [sample run]', declares target construction, place london, representativeness city, source unreferenced and method assumed. Its three roof and three wall thicknesses follow historical code 801; the marker is retained as an explicit configuration identity rather than a literature-value claim.
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 ohm.summer_wet and ohm.summer_dry. The record is named 'Code 798 x Multiplier for summer [7981]', declares target ohm_coefficients and season_label Summer, and declares no place and no representativeness.
Fills ohm.winter_wet and ohm.winter_dry. The record is named 'Code 798 x Multiplier for winter [7982]', declares target ohm_coefficients and season_label Winter, and declares no place and no representativeness.
| Composite identity | curation required The composite is named 'Suburban residential, Ward et al. (2016)'. Its albedo and emissivity slots take records/surfaces/bldgs/swindon--ward2016--albedo and records/surfaces/bldgs/swindon--ward2016--emissivity, both named 'Suburban residential', both place swindon and both sourced to ward2016, so the label matches those slots exactly. The construction slot takes records/constructions/uk--lindberg-f2020--central-london-sample-run, named 'Central London [sample run]', which names a different settlement type from the one the composite claims and marks itself as a sample run, while records/constructions holds twelve uk--hertwig2024a residential records, several of them pitched-roof terraced, detached and semi-detached sets. Which of those describes Swindon's suburban fabric, if any, is a curation decision about build period and roof form that this review cannot make. |
|---|---|
| Composite target | supported 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 values | not applicable The composite declares no parameters block of its own, so it asserts no value beyond the components it selects. |
| Composition rationale | not 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 applicability | correction required The composite claims place swindon. The albedo and emissivity components declare place swindon; the water storage and drainage components declare place se-england, which db/places.yml marks subnational within country united-kingdom. The construction declares place london and is named ''Central London [sample run]'', so it does not support the Swindon claim; selecting another construction remains a separate curation decision. The two ohm records declare no place. The snow-limit component is the database's sole buildings snowpack_limit record and is now correctly documented as a generic Järvi land-cover default; its Helsinki path and origin retain migration lineage. |
| Representativeness | supported The composite declares representativeness city. The albedo is site evidence; emissivity and snow limit are generic; construction is city; and water storage and drainage are regional. Extending the fitted site albedo to the city composite requires curation. The two OHM records declare no representativeness, leaving how far their coefficients were meant to travel undeclared. |
| Slot and season mapping | supported An assembly of existing records into slots; the composite produces no value of its own. The season mapping can be checked against the components' own declarations here, and it is right: ohm.summer_wet and ohm.summer_dry take records/ohm/generic--ward2016--buildings, which declares season_label Summer, and ohm.winter_wet and ohm.winter_dry take records/ohm/generic--ward2016--buildings--code-798-x-multiplier-for-winter-7982, which declares season_label Winter. Within each season the same record fills both the wet and the dry position, so the composite draws no wet/dry distinction. |
| Completeness and uniqueness | supported All seven slots are filled and the composite is unique. It differs from archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/london-uk--central-london-ward-et-al-2016 in the albedo and emissivity slots, which take the Swindon ward2016 rows here and the London ward2016 rows there; the remaining five slots and all four ohm positions are the same in both. No second Swindon composite exists. |
Most of this composite is anchored in the place it claims. Its fitted albedo is a site-scoped Swindon row named 'Suburban residential', emissivity is a generic jarvi2011 literature value, and its water storage and drainage are SE England rows, and its OHM mapping is confirmed by the components themselves: the summer positions take the record declaring season_label Summer and the winter positions the record declaring season_label Winter. The generic Järvi snowpack default is the only buildings snowpack_limit record, so that slot could not have been filled otherwise. What does not follow is the construction. A composite labelled suburban residential takes records/constructions/uk--lindberg-f2020--central-london-sample-run, a record that names a different settlement type and flags itself as a sample run, while twelve uk--hertwig2024a residential construction records sit unused. Choosing among those means choosing a build period and a roof form, which is a maintainer's decision and not one this review should make on resemblance. The city-wide use of a site-fitted albedo is a second explicit curation question. Nothing here requires a component value to change, and the components' own values remain subject to their evidence assessments.
