I have a note to myself about making a model parameter database, which I think ticks this box. It is only a thought bubble at the moment, but is something I am very keen on. You have spurred me into action, and I’ve made a topic specifically for that. > [@Model parameter database](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/model-parameter-database/319): > > It occurred to me that a database of model parameters would be a very useful tool. This would be a database from which it would be possible to find out what parameters were used for any specific run of any experiment that was indexed. Some possible uses: Easily discover parameter settings used for an experiment Compare parameters across experiments Track experiment parameter changes over time Make model output default values, and include these as a special experiment Track default values ove… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/provenance-of-access-models/315)._
