This page exists to collect use cases and architecture thoughts for the reporting infrastructure being developed in iiasa/message_ix#142

API usage proposals

pp = Reporting()
  .add_activity(...)
  .add_activity()
  .aggregate(...)
  .build()
// reuse processing instance for multiple scenarios
pp.process(scenario1)
pp.process(scenario2)

// or
pp = Reporting().load(...)

Alternative suggestion for re-using reporting specs across scenarios:

specs.yaml

- activity
    - Primary Energy|Wind
        - technology: wind_ppl
- aggregate
    - Primary Energy

Call reporting specs on scenario: Reporting(scenario, specs.yaml)
