I thought it would be good to have a list of BMI design principles in the README. I'll list them here as well,

BMI Design Principles

  • Easy to implement. Preference goes to the implementer over the end user.
  • Self describing.
  • Common tasks are left up to a framework.
  • Popeye Principle (“I am what I am”). BMI libraries just report about themselves.
  • Language agnostic
  • NOT intended to accommodate every model and use case.
  • Intended for model coupling but not necessarily model-to-model coupling.
  • A model can be a numerical software model but could also be a dataset.
  • Does not inject itself into a model.
  • Minimal but can be open to extensions.

These should be enumerated, like commandments.
