•Each parameter has a „string“ name
•Value is given as implemented member of Variable
- Variable has “last changed” date instance, creator reference and value
- Has name, default or unit, too
•Has a general simulation (model run) and project (project run) id
•Implements a HashMap <String, Object>

•Default Value
•Current Value
•Linking Variables can hereby be checked for
- Unit Ontology
- DataType and
- ContentType
•Setting Value cab be checked for
- DataType

Example
Let's look at the example.
There are several key-value pairs.
We can add links between them. For example, let's take Weather.rain and link it with Soilwater.rain.
In this case every time when the value W.Rain of Weather.rain is changed, Soilwater.rain will be given the same value W.Rain as Weather.rain.
