Fills albedo. The record is named 'Central London', declares target land_cover.bldgs, place london, representativeness site, applicable_scale land_cover, source ward2016 and method fitted.
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.
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.
Fills drainage. The record is named Building, declares target land_cover.bldgs, place generic, representativeness generic and applicable_scale land_cover.
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, ohm.summer_dry, ohm.winter_wet and ohm.winter_dry. The record is named 'Original roof average ', declares target ohm_coefficients, place beijing and representativeness city, source unreferenced and method assumed, and declares no season_label.
A generic calculated rooftop average available as an alternative building OHM record; it is not selected by this Zurich composite.
| Composite identity | supported The composite is named 'City centre' and what it assembles is city-centre labelled: the albedo record is named 'Central London' and the construction record 'Central London [sample run]'. The label on its own does not discriminate, since archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/beijing--city-centre and archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/helsinki--city-centre are both named 'City centre ' as well, and only the entry path and the place field separate the three. |
|---|---|
| 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 | curation required The composite claims place zurich, but no selected component carries a Swiss place. Albedo and construction declare place london; emissivity, water storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch place generic; and OHM place beijing. Substitution remains unavoidable because the database holds no Swiss building record, while the unexplained Beijing OHM choice remains the curation question. |
| Representativeness | curation required The composite is classed city. The albedo declares site; construction and OHM declare city; and emissivity, water storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch declare generic. The site-scale albedo is narrower than the city reach claimed by the composite. This site-to-city extrapolation requires curation. |
| Slot and season mapping | supported An assembly of existing records into slots; the composite produces no value of its own. records/ohm/beijing--zheng-y2023--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 uniqueness | curation required All seven slots are filled, but the composite is barely distinguishable from two others. archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/helsinki--kumpula selects the same record in every slot except ohm, where it takes records/ohm/helsinki--jarvi2014--buildings rather than records/ohm/beijing--zheng-y2023--buildings. archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/beijing--city-centre selects the same record in every slot except albedo, where it takes records/surfaces/bldgs/shanghai--ao2016--albedo rather than records/surfaces/bldgs/london--ward2016--albedo. What makes Zurich's city centre a separate typology here is therefore a single coefficient record selected for Beijing, and a maintainer should decide whether that sustains a distinct entry. |
Zurich's city centre is assembled without a single Swiss component. Its albedo is a London row, while emissivity, water storage, drainage and snowpack_limit are generic; its construction is a London record named 'Central London [sample run]', and all four OHM positions take a Beijing roof-average row. Some substitution is unavoidable, because the database holds no Swiss building record at all, but the particular substitutions were not forced: twenty building OHM records exist, several of them European, and the Beijing row was taken with nothing recorded to explain it. The consequence shows in the composite's identity. Slot for slot it is archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/helsinki--kumpula with the OHM record swapped and archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/beijing--city-centre with the albedo swapped, so what separates a Zurich city centre from those two entries is one coefficient record chosen for Beijing. The Central London albedo is site evidence used in a city composite. These place, evidence-reach and identity questions live in the composite and can be settled without changing any component value. A maintainer must decide which records should stand in for Zurich, whether their reach supports a city composite and whether the entry earns a separate identity once that is decided. The components' own values remain subject to their evidence assessments; this review does not revisit them.
