Welcome to the Core-Modelling-Practices wiki!

This is where we will collaborate and gather best practices for the SESYNC Core Modelling team project.

We use a 'Patterns' approach to describe and document the practices, using our Pattern Template.

This wiki is a preliminary platform, with a new website planned (see New website requirements)
