The ''Basic Model Interface'' (BMI) is a set of functions that standardizes how numerical models can be queried, modified, and run. A model with a BMI exposes the same set of functions, no matter which language the model is written in. While a BMI can be specified for any language, CSDMS currently supports C, C++, Fortran, and Python. | |||

The CSDMS Workbench is the integrated system of software tools, technologies, and standards developed by CSDMS for building, interfacing, and coupling models. Each element of the CSDMS Workbench is developed as open source software and released to the community under the MIT License. The CSDMS Workbench consists of five core elements:
The Basic Model Interface (BMI) is a set of functions that standardizes how numerical models can be queried, modified, and run. A model with a BMI exposes the same set of functions, no matter which language the model is written in. While a BMI can be specified for any language, CSDMS currently supports C, C++, Fortran, and Python.

CSDMS Standard Names (CSN) provide a comprehensive set of naming rules and patterns that are not specific to any particular modeling domain. CSN were designed with features such as parsability and natural alphabetical grouping. CSN consist of an object part and a quantity/attribute part; the quantity part may also have an operation prefix with multiple operations. [documentation, source repository]
