计算机模型广泛应用于水文学和水资源管理。现有各种各样的模型，每一个都是针对与水文科学和水资源管理有关的具体挑战而设计的。当科学家和工程师应用其中一个模型来解决特定问题时，他们必须投入大量精力来设置、校准和评估为某个地点和时间构建的模型实例。在许多情况下，与更广泛的科学界分享这些计算机模型和相关数据集是有益的。在任何上下文中，模型重用的核心是描述模型的元数据。一个适用于各种模型的标准化元数据框架将促进互操作性，并鼓励重用和共享现有资源。本文报告了描述水模型的元数据框架的发展。我们讨论了为实现HydroShare系统的这一目标所采取的步骤，并在描述基于团队的水文建模项目的用例的上下文中进行了讨论。
Computer models are widely used in hydrology and water resources management. A large variety of models exist, each tailored to address specific challenges related to hydrologic science and water resources management. When scientists and engineers apply one of these models to address a specific question, they must devote significant effort to set up, calibrate, and evaluate that model instance built for some place and time. In many cases, there is a benefit to sharing these computer models and associated datasets with the broader scientific community. Core to model reuse in any context is metadata describing the model. A standardized metadata framework applicable across models will foster interoperability and encourage reuse and sharing of existing resources. This paper reports on the development of a metadata framework for describing water models. We discuss steps taken to achieve this goal for the HydroShare system and within the context of a use case that describes a team-based hydrologic modeling project.
