Welcome to the OpenMI Network!

During the 2020 General Assembly This website is the home of the OpenMI Association the decision was taken to start the transition of the formal OpenMI Association to an informal OpenMI Network since OpenMI 2.0 had been adopted as an OGC standard in 2013/2014 and there was no longer a clear purpose for the OpenMI Association as a legal entity with the associated legal obligations. The OpenMI Association was formally dissolved by a decision at a Special General Meeting early September 2020. As part of the transition, the OpenMI website previously hosted at Google, will be transferred to another location. During this transition the www.openmi.org address will point to this landing page on the Deltares public wiki.Network, which stimulates discussion about integrated modelling using open standards in general and supports research and development associated with the OpenMI standard in particular. OpenMI is a model coupling standard which was developed by a series of European research projects over a period of over ten years. It originates from the domain of earth surface modelling but can be used in any domain where numerical models need to exchange data between them as they run. Individual models are adapted to become OpenMI components and are then assembled into combined compositions. OpenMI version 2.0 is an official Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard (see OGC's page on OpenMI 2.0) and the OGC holds the definition of this ratified version of the standard. Sample code and interfaces are held on SourceForge.

You can contact the network at openmi.network_at_gmail.com.


An introduction to OpenMI is given in the paper:

  • Harpham, Q.K., Hughes, A. and Moore, R.V., 2019. Introductory Overview: The OpenMI 2.0 Standard for Integrating Numerical Models, Environmental Modelling and Software, 122, 104549, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2019.104549.

Following the transition of the OpenMI Association into this Network, the Network is now the focus for associated OpenMI activities.
