 Parameter values often have dependencies, such as dependency of atomic element (Iron, Methane, Oxygen), on media (concrete/clay/rock) or location (Paris, Gothenburg, Kampala). From the database point-of-view, the dependencies change the parameter dimension. Kd_soil can be a scalar parameter if only one atomic element is ever considered, a vector if values are available for many elements or a matrix if both atomic elements and different soil types are considered. Parameter values often have dependencies, such as dependency of atomic element (Iron, Methane, Oxygen), on media (concrete/clay/rock) or location (Paris, Gothenburg, Kampala).

 The database allows up to two dependencies to be defined for a parameter. If more dependencies are required the user must either create several definitions (Kd_soil, Kd_bentonite, Kd_backfill) or use tags (Kd soil, Kd bentonite, Kd backfill). The database allows up to two dependencies to be defined for a parameter.

 Sometimes a dependency is naturally related to another dependency. For instance, the dependency Species is related to the dependency Organism. One can therefore document that a given dependency “maps” to another when a dependency is defined. A typical case is between atomic element and isotope. In the database notation it is said that the atomic element dependency maps to the isotope dependency. Mapping means that a parameter can be used in both the context of its own dependency and in the context of mapped dependency. Sometimes a dependency is naturally related to another dependency.
