Hello @simnh ,
your ideas and your motivation are perfectly in line with the goals of the “SzenarienDB” project and the current developments. I’m more than happy to contribute to your draft.
Here are some links and comments in random order:
- The OPSD project used the data package format and helped to spread “the word” in the community
- The OEP/OEDB metadata is based on the OPSD metadata
- The current metadata version (v1.3) is compatible with the standard. So if you take out data (as csv) from the OEP and put the metadata (json-string) next to it you have (more or less) a data package. That’s the idea to be independent of the “format” (csv, postgres…)
- The metadata entries were discussed in various openmod break-out-groups and other events (the ones I could find in some minutes):
- 2016A Stockholm - Data Management
- 2016B Milano - Participating in the OpenEnergy Database (oedb)
- 2017A Frankfurt - Breakout group about metadata
- 2017A Frankfurt - best practice on how to structure & publish open data
- Forum Discussion - Public Domain (PD) License for Metadata
Wow, that’s a bunch of scattered information… No doubt that it is too hard to find already discussed topics!
As @robbie.morrison already pointed out, the main work is the logical model.
This is where I also see a strong connection to the ontology. Because it will not be just an extended dictionary/glossary but a conceptual representation of the energy domain.
If we bring these ideas together, the resulting “energy data package” would be of great value for the community.
Can you outline what we can Do during the “Do-a-thon” to bring this forward?
Who is also interested from other projects or modelling teams?
What about the “model experiments/ comparison” people?
