Composition provenance
Curation requiredDetached houses, WoodSelected component
Fills bldgs. The archetype is named 'Detached houses, Wood' and declares target land_cover.bldgs, place 'sweden' and representativeness 'regional'. It declares no attaches_to.
KumpulaSelected component
Fills paved. The archetype is named 'Kumpula' and declares target land_cover.paved, place 'helsinki' and representativeness 'city'. It declares no attaches_to.
Assessment findings
| Composite identity | supported The composite is named 'Sub-urban' and described as 'Wooden detached houses'. The bldgs slot takes archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--detached-houses-wood, named 'Detached houses, Wood', so the description is carried by the component that decides it. The paved slot takes archetypes/surfaces/paved/helsinki--kumpula, named 'Kumpula', which neither supports nor contradicts the label. Entry path, name and description agree. |
|---|---|
| Composite target | supported The composite's own target is 'typology', which is what every entry under archetypes/typologies declares, and each slot takes a component declared for it: the bldgs slot takes an archetype declaring target land_cover.bldgs and the paved slot an archetype declaring target land_cover.paved. Neither component declares attaches_to; in this database that field is carried only by the profile records under db/records/profiles, 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 two components it selects. |
| Composition rationale | not applicable The composite claims no composition source, and the repository records no published rationale for pairing a Swedish building surface with a Helsinki paved surface. The components' own sources belong to their assessments, not to this review. |
| Place applicability | curation required The composite claims place 'sweden'. The bldgs component declares place 'sweden'. The paved component declares place 'helsinki', which db/places.yml resolves to country 'finland', so half of a Swedish typology is a Finnish city surface. The substitution was not forced by an empty record set: archetypes/surfaces/paved/sweden--asphalt-mixed-city declares place 'sweden' and representativeness 'regional', and four other Swedish typologies (archetypes/typologies/sweden--mixed-city-ideal, archetypes/typologies/sweden--modernism, archetypes/typologies/sweden--residential-functionalism and archetypes/typologies/sweden--traditional-neighborhood) take it in this slot. Against that, archetypes/surfaces/paved/helsinki--kumpula is also the paved component of archetypes/typologies/finland--sub-urban, whose description reads 'Helsinki (sub-urban, mixed)', so it may have been chosen as the database's sub-urban paved surface rather than by oversight. The composite records neither consideration, and only a maintainer can decide whether country or sub-urban character governs this slot. |
| Representativeness | curation required The composite declares representativeness 'regional'. The bldgs component declares 'regional' and matches it; the paved component declares 'city'. A city surface therefore stands in for half of a country-scale typology, extending its claimed reach without anything in the composite recording the decision. |
| Slot and season mapping | supported An assembly of two existing surface archetypes into the two slots the typology format defines; the composite produces no value of its own. A typology carries no season and no wet/dry mapping of its own, because those live inside the surface components' ohm blocks, so there is no seasonal mapping to check at this level. |
| Completeness and uniqueness | supported The assembly is complete: scripts/migrate_to_records.py maps only the legacy Types table's 'Buildings' and 'Paved' columns into a typology's uses block, and both slots are filled. The bldgs component is used by no other typology, so the composite is distinguishable from every other entry under archetypes/typologies. The paved component is shared with archetypes/typologies/finland--sub-urban and archetypes/typologies/sweden--industrial, which is reuse of a curated surface rather than duplication. The name 'Sub-urban' is shared with archetypes/typologies/finland--sub-urban and archetypes/typologies/uk--sub-urban, but those declare different places and different components in both slots. |
Scientific note
The building side of this typology is Swedish and matches its own label. archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/sweden--detached-houses-wood declares place 'sweden' and representativeness 'regional', is named 'Detached houses, Wood', and is used by no other typology, so the description 'Wooden detached houses' is carried by the component that decides it. The paved side is neither Swedish nor regional: archetypes/surfaces/paved/helsinki--kumpula declares place 'helsinki' and representativeness 'city', so a Swedish country-scale typology takes half its surface description from one Finnish city. That choice was available to be made differently, because archetypes/surfaces/paved/sweden--asphalt-mixed-city is Swedish and regional and four other Swedish typologies use it; it may nonetheless be the right choice, because the same Kumpula surface fills the paved slot of the Finnish sub-urban typology and is the closest thing the database has to a sub-urban paved surface. The composite records neither reason. Both questions live in the composite and can be settled without touching a component value: a maintainer should either state on the composite that sub-urban character outranks country for this slot, or swap it to the Swedish surface the sibling typologies already use. The components' own selections and values remain subject to their own assessments; this review does not revisit them.
