Description

The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) is a community-driven climate impact modeling initiative that aims to contribute to a quantitative and cross-sectoral synthesis of the various impacts of climate change, including associated uncertainties.

ISIMIP is organized into simulation rounds for which a simulation protocol defines a set of common scenarios. Participating modeling groups run their simulations according to these scenarios and with a common set of climatic and socioeconomic input data. The model output data are collected by the ISIMIP team at PIK and made publicly available in the ISIMIP repository.

As part of the BMBF funded ISI-Access project, this process has been significantly improved by introducing a machine-readable protocol and several software tools for data curation, quality control and data publication. While the specific implementation is highly optimized to the peculiarities of ISIMIP, the general ideas should be transferable to other projects. In my presentation, I will discuss the various tools and how they interact to create an integrated publishing workflow.
