DOI

The Water Management Data Model (WaMDaM) is information model to organize water management data with contextual metadata and controlled vocabulary for multiple datasets and models. WaMDaM is implemented in a relational model and works for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.

1. Information Model Concepts and their description

The documentations of the model and its design are found at docs.wamdam.org

2. Entity Relationship diagrams for WaMDaM schema 1.04

3. Key earlier drafts of WaMDaM designs and feedback on a peer-review conference paper

4. Implementations of WaMDaM in four RDBS to create blank databases

5. Use the DDL Utility here to create DDL for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server from one XML file.

DDL Generator Utility


Use the WaMDaM Wizard to load water management data from Excel and other sources into WaMDaM database

The WaMDaM Wizard is an open-source, cross-platform, Python-based graphical user software to interact with WaMDaM database. By using the Wizard, users are not expected to understand the underlying WaMDaM database of schema

Controlled Vocabularies

View and the WaMDaM online moderated registry which aims to promote consistent terminology (i.e., Controlled Vocabularies-(CVs)) to describe water system components and their attributes across datasets, models, and users, while still retaining the native terms. Registering your model's native terms against these CVs will allow you to relate, query, and compare all of your water management data within a single database. Submit new terms to support your data and expand the registery. Check out the [registry souce code][]
