16:20 panel discussion on “information bridges”
The following panel discussion is scheduled for Friday 4 December 2020 at 16:20 +0100 (CET) using the Zoom platform. Registration is required — see the top posting for details.
Topic: Bridging the information divide between climate science and energy modeling
The idea is to explore the information connections between climate scientists and energy system modelers and analysts. In more concrete terms, these bridges may include:
| Type | Comment | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | data bridges | piping data from one model type to the next |
| 2 | educational bridges | helping the communities connect academically |
| 3 | research collaborations | establishing better and deeper partnerships |
| 4 | joint end-user support | providing results and context to industry and for public policy |
| 5 | distributed data architectures | supporting reproducible workflows and complex data integration |
On the last point 5, the energy modeling community has been engaging with the DBpedia Databus project.
