History: Bodb is the eldest son of the Dagda, ruler of an extra-dimensional race of beings known as the Tuatha de Danann, and his wife, Morrigan, goddess of war and death.
Bodb and the Danaans long ruled Eire from Earth, but after the Dagda decided to retire and depart from earth, he divided Eire into four equal provinces amongst his four sons with Bodb granted sovereignty over the province of Munster and title as King of Eire over the other Danaans.
As god of war, Bodb was respected by the Romans under the name Teutates in order to equate him with Mars as well as the name Machus, a masculine form of the name, Macha, the Irish name of Badb.
BODB comprises a major reworking of ARDB and is now fully functional and in its third version (Plangprasopchok, Tinroongroj, Bonaiuto, and Arbib 2006).
In general a model is entered in BODB as hierarchically composed of a number of different modules, which themselves may or may not be further decomposable.
The design of BODB is informed by the view that models will be improved to the extent that they are benchmarked against the data associated with comparable models.
