Overview of models

To-do list general:

Standardization of answers (and maximum length for fields?)
Possible gap-filling and cleaning up of answer (preferably done by authors)
Adding/removing variables and possibly new tables (here the raw XML can be found which shows which data is available)
Possibly add number of publications? On the one hand shows how established the model is, on the other hand doubtful if model pages are updated freuqently enough to be a reliable source

Todo

Model class and sector are not very unified (e.g. compare "GAMS" and "Framework" both used as description of model class; electricity market, electricity sector, electricity all point to the same sector). Probably we should create new clearly defined categories with limited choices, or use existing ones more efficiently (Clear delineation between model class, Mathematical model type and implementing software)
Possibly add modularisation as an option?

Todo, missing fields

Is the modelling software stack open-source (e.g. GNU MathProg, OpenJDK), or at least freely available (Java). Different fields for modelling and processing software?
