Michaelb:

* Perhaps, we should decide initially, if we want to only focus on databases that actually contain information on policies or if we want to include databases that include information that is not directly related to policies, but can provide information that is useful for the development of policies? E.g. The COMETS database does not contain information on policies directly, but the information contained in the COMETS database could be valuable for policy development.

*good point we have policy relevant databases and data bases with policy, but for sure both of them are important regarding the topic of uc

* this may help by assessing the database https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/f1-meta-data-assigned-globally-unique-persistent-identifiers/

* i'm thinking about IEA Policy database regarding the use case it's fit perfect

I have started segmenting databases into 2 categories:

# policy relevant databases, eg. COMETS, EU Merci,
# policy databases, eg. IEA Policy database, EUR-Lex, OECD, MURE

From both categories, the most suitbale databases may be chosen. This will enable us to have a full spectrum - how energy policies may use both types of databases.

i'm thinking about IEA Policy database regarding the use case it's fit perfect

Notes from the discussion on zoom - included into tables here: http://eeradata.webfactional.com/mediawiki-1.30.0/index.php?title=UC4#List_of_selected_databases

* difference between terms in different languages - how to align the wording and taxonomy

* Michael: information if databases have publishable API
* August: some kind of glossary should be included, in accordance to international standards,
* what kind of metadata are provided. What code is provided.

*it;'s really oimportant to know if the database is primary or secondary source - who kis a creator of the data.
All copies of documents are available in many places, but it's important to inlclude information about "originals"

==== Databases to be chosen ====

Primary databases:
# COMETS --> still needs FAIRification, so going from all red to all green. Database is not so complicated, so may be a good example / case for works.
# IEA Policy Database --> second to be chosen, it's close to FAIR. The main problem was with PIDs.
# EUR-Lex, because it's place where policies are stored
# JRC database, it's hub, linking many repositiroeis and databases.

Secondary databases:
# RES Legal --> secondary database to EUR-Lex.

Michaelb: /* MURE Online Database */

This page provides space for notes from workshop discussions of use case 4 during Day 2 of WS1.

== Interactive elements ==
The discussions can also benefit from considering the EERAdata storyboard and/or slido comments. See [[WS1#Interactive_elements]]

== Notes from the morning session ==
The morning session is dedicated to database discussions with the aim to select 3-5 databases from below's list of databases for further examination. The [[UC3#List_of_selected_databases|first table of the WIKI page]] is filled out by noon.

* The workshop has started with the short introduction round to enable peaople to know something about each other, especially of the specific institutions day-to-day approach to data use.
* Later on the base for further works was presented:
# screeening the databases --> names, short descriptions, rationale for preliminary choosing the database
# checking the datbases proposed already, adding new, if needed.
# discussion and evaluation of databases - to choose the most suitable one for further works

Segmenting databases into 2 categories:
# policy relevant databases, eg. COMETS, EU Merci, PETA4
# policy databases, eg. IEA Policy database, EUR-Lex, OECD, RES-Legal, MURE

From both categories, the most suitbale databases may be chosen. This will enable us to have a full spectrum - how energy policies may use both types of databases.

=== Discussion on the choice of databases: ===
* From GIG, apart from IEA Policy database, there will be also a proposition of EUR-Lex, DataCite, EU Merci, OECD, and probably also JRC-database.
* @ IUE and ENEA: each of you please suggest 2 other databases and prepare for them a description and an explanation - why we should choose them for further evaluation. Material please put in the Wiki.
* @ all: for databases that you suggested please complete the questionnaire from AIT in OO ([https://energydata.onlyoffice.eu/Products/Files/doceditor.aspx?fileid=5413183] and put answers into the folder in OO [https://energydata.onlyoffice.eu/products/projects/tmdocs.aspx?prjID=236894#1976709] until Friday 29.05.

==== COMETS database: EU-wide inventory of collective action initiatives in the energy transition ====
''Description of database:''
The inventory is a multi-country database of collective action initiatives (e.g., energy cooperatives, eco-villages, community energy projects, and other citizen-led energy projects). For each initiative, the country, the date of foundation/cancellation, the evolution of members and renewable energy units, installation capacities, fields of engagement, legal form, website, address, source, etc. is collected. The entries are sourced from a variety of national, regional, and European registers and websites.

''Rationale for choosing this database'':
*The database is of policy relevance. Its data interpretation is highly dependent on changes in the legal and policy frameworks across Europe.
*We own the database and therefore have it easier to exercise FAIRification and opening activities.
*The database is being created in a parallel running European project and we would not like that the database ends in the graveyard of dead EU project databases.
*We aim at opening the database to the low carbon research community within the next two years.
*We are interested to explore the options for opening while ensuring that our work in building the database is appropriately acknowledged. This is relevant for later EERAdata discussion. Here, we already started discussing with e3s and tJP of EERAdata.
*We can use synergies with another parallel EU project and have the possibility to assign rich metadata to every single entry, by also using the expertise of researchers from the COMETS project.
*The database itself has a relatively simple structure, however, the inventory contains heterogeneous and dynamic data. Thus, it helps us to investigate how to approach FAIRification for such data. This is a particular challenge for UC4.
*Sources of the COMETS database are coming in a variety of European languages, all brought together in an English database. Thus, it helps us to investigate the relevance of languages for FAIRification and opening activities. This is also a particular challenge for UC4.
*We aim at uploading this database as an example for EERAdata to EOSC. We hope to create a best practice example for a FAIR and open database. Currently, it is F - non-existing, A - non-existing., I - partly as one can, e.g., go to the currently published papers to access the original sources. But it is not machine-actionable. R - no, because it is currently not open.

==== IEA Policy database ====
''Description of the database:''
A worldwide database of past, future and planned policies and measures thematically related to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and support the development and deployment of renewables and other clean energy technologies. It contains data from IEA/IRENA Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database, the IEA Energy Efficiency Database, the Addressing Climate Change database, and the Building Energy Efficiency Policies (BEEP) database, along with information on CCUS and methane abatement policies. Data are collected from governments, partner organizations and IEA analysis since 1999.

''Rationale for choosing this database:''
* A popular, recognized, and world-wide database hosted by a reputable institution.
* Since we are not able to analyze all the databases that we would like to - the selection of the IEA Policy database would indirectly allow us to take into account several other, selected databases because it contains data from: IEA/IRENA Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database, the IEA Energy Efficiency Database, the Addressing Climate Change database, and the Building Energy Efficiency Policies (BEEP) database,
* Cross-use case relevance, as it contains policies and measures also for buildings efficiency (UC1) and for power transmission and distribution networks (UC2).

==== EU Taxonomy for green innovation companies ====
''Description of the database:''
The EU Taxonomy is a tool to help investors, companies, issuers, and project promoters navigate the transition to a low-carbon, resilient and resource-efficient economy. The Taxonomy sets performance thresholds (referred to as ‘technical screening criteria’) for economic activities which: • make a substantive contribution to one of six environmental objectives (Figure 1); • do no significant harm (DNSH) to the other five, where relevant; • meet minimum safeguards (e.g., OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights). The performance thresholds will help companies, project promoters and issuers access green financing to improve their environmental performance, as well as helping to identify which activities are already environmentally friendly. In doing so, it will help to grow low-carbon sectors and decarbonise high-carbon ones. The EU Taxonomy is one of the most significant developments in sustainable finance and will have wide-ranging implications for investors and issuers working in the EU, and beyond.

''Rationale for choosing this database:''
* It is low-hanging fruit because taxonomy is already in place.
* We could use this taxonomy to see how it aligns with our other assessments (and with other use cases)
* The taxonomy will be enacted in a year from now, so we can provide timely feedback

''Reference:'' [[https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/business_economy_euro/banking_and_finance/documents/200309-sustainable-finance-teg-final-report-taxonomy_en.pdf]]

==== EUR-Lex ====
''Description of the database:''
EUR-Lex is online database that provides the official and most comprehensive access to EU Law and legal documents such as treaties, legal acts from EU institutions, preparatory documents related to EU legislation, EU case-law, international agreements, EFTA documents, references to national case-law related to EU law. EUR-Lex has access to all editions of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) since the first of December 1952.

''Rationale for choosing this database:''
* It is available in all of the EU’s 24 official languages
* It is updated daily, which confirms the validity of the documents
* Each document in EUR-Lex is supported by detailed information such as: relations with other legal documents, case-law interpretations, dates of adoption or entry into force etc.
* It is the open and highly recognizable European Union’s database directly related to policy
* Most documents in EUR-Lex, regardless of their language, receive a unique identifier - CELEX number, so all documents have a designed structure and each type of document corresponds to a so-called “a descriptor”.

==== EU MERCI ====
''Description of the database:''
The database contains data on the implementation of energy efficiency measures in the manufacturing industry. For nearly 3000 companies from 4 European countries (Austria, Italy, Poland, United Kingdom), the following information has been collected: size of the company, year of implementation of the measure, type of support received (white certificates), statistical classification of economic activities, according to NACE, applied processes and ways to save energy and total final energy savings achieved by the implemented measures.
The database contains data also on low-carbon policies, examples of business action to reduce emissions, etc.
The database includes data for the 2005-2017 period. Besides the database, also a library, sector reports and static analyses of different countries were made available.

''Rationale for choosing this database:''
* The database contains good practices that can be used by other actors willing to implement energy efficiency measures,
* Disadvantages of the database: It includes data from the 2005-2017 period, with no updates (no newer examples)

==== OECD database ====
''Description of the database:''
OECD database makes available data related to agriculture, development, economy, education, energy, environment, finance, government, health, innovation and technology, jobs and society. In each of these areas the database contains, inter alia, data on legal issues. In the area of energy, data can be assigned thematically to: primary energy supply, crude oil production, electricity generation, renewable energy, nuclear power plants, crude oil import prices.
The data comes from over 130 countries around the world. The database allows sharing data in the form of indicators, maps and tables. The data is collected and made available since 1960.

''Rationale for choosing this database:''
* It is a popular, well recognised worldwide database, maintained by a reputable institution,
* Since we are not able to analyze all the databases that we would like to - the selection of the OECD database would indirectly allow us to take into account several other, selected databases because it contains data from: the IEA database - International Energy Agency (https://www.iea.org/) and Nuclear Energy Agency (http://www.oecd-nea.org/).

==== ISTAT energy data ====
'' Description of the database: ''
I.Stat is the warehouse of statistics currently produced by the Italian National Institute of Statistics.Statistics are searchable by theme. The system is also consultable by keyword. Data are presented in multidimensional tables which users can export in xls, csv formats. Acting on variables, reference periods and the arrangement of heads and sides, moreover, it is possible to obtain custom tables.
Through a web service that allows direct machine-to-machine questioning, organizations, as well as private citizens, can form specific query data, download results. The service is accessible at the following address: https://www.istat.it/it/metodi-e-strumenti/web-service-sdmx

'' Rationale for choosing this database: ''
* It’s a complete overview of energy consumption in Italy in all sectors of the society.

==== SETIS Innovation and Research data ====
'' Description of the database: ''
The level of investment in R&I in terms of both private (expenditure by businesses and industry) and public (Member States' national programmes and instruments), and trends in patents, for the Integrated SET Plan Actions.

'' Rationale for choosing this database: ''
The Integrated SET Plan needs to be underpinned by an effective monitoring and reporting scheme that supports the development and implementation of the European R&I Agenda. SETIS plays a central role in the successful implementation of the Integrated SET Plan 10 key actions. In particular, the enhanced SETIS follows the objectives below:
* To monitor R&I activities, investments and technology progress in Europe;
* To contribute to the identification of gaps in the implementation of the actions;
* To report on the overall progress towards the common goals set out in the integrated SET-Plan;
* To contribute to assessing the impact of the SET-Plan on European competitiveness;
* To make recommendations for actions that could further increase the effectiveness of the European R&I Strategy.

==== ENERGISE Online Database ====
'' Description of the database: ''
The Database is an output of the H2020 Energise Project. The project aims at testing household and community-level initiatives to reduce energy consumption through energy cultures. An output of the project forms the database that contains data on 1067 energy initiatives from 30 European countries.

'' Rationale for choosing this database: ''
* The database contains recent information on a considerable number of (1067) initiatives pertaining to household and community-level energy policies. Thus, its representativeness is for European countries is high.
* Since the focus of the EERAdata project is mainly concerning the European Union countries, this database is a good fit in terms of scope.
* The database hosts information that would be gathered from national sources of each country, hence may be considered as a repository for national databases.

==== MURE Online Database ====
'' Description of the database: ''
MURE (Mesures d'Utilisation Rationnelle de l'Energie) is a comprehensive database that lists energy efficiency policies and measures regarding the Member States of the European Union. It allows for the analysis of policies based on topics, policy interaction, policy scoring, impact evaluation, as well as successful policies. The information is accessible by query in the database. The contributors are French Environment and Energy Management Agency, European Energy Network, and the H2020 program of the European Union.

Relates to the Odyssee database on energy-efficiency indicators and energy consumption.

Reference: [http://www.measures-odyssee-mure.eu Odyssee-MURE project]

'' Rationale for choosing this database: ''
* A comprehensive database including energy efficiency policies and measures in the European Union member states.
* Since the focus of the EERAdata project is mainly concerning the European Union countries, this database is a good fit in terms of scope.
* The database hosts information that would be gathered from national sources of each country, hence may be considered as a repository for national databases.
* The database pertains to both Uses Case 4 on Energy Policies and Use Case 1 on Buildings Efficiency.

==== JRC-database hub: Joint Research Centre Data Catalogue ====
'' Description of database: ''
The JRC Science Hub aims to gradually integrate and aggregate all of the European Commission's science related activities, tools, laboratories, facilities, databases and networks. The inventory is wide range of the compilation of databases development of software and modelling tools. Published on the basis of open data principles with clear descriptions for each entry. The tools and databases are categorised by name and acronym, but can be filtered by research area, keyword and JRC institute responsible for the coordination of the particular entry. It contains, inter alia, databases related to energy and transport and climate
'' Rationale for choosing this database: ''
* It’s the open and highly recognizable European Union’s database directly related to different related aspects also energy policy related
* It’s data interpretation is highly dependent on changes in the legal and policy frameworks across European Union.
* The database enhances the transparency and openness of the JRC and further enables the open access policy of scientific research data.
* The information and links provided in the metadata are maintained in distributed and heterogeneous information systems. Although the datasets are maintain and links and information are updated,
* Sources of the database are coming in a variety of European languages, all brought together in an English database. Thus, it helps to investigate the relevance for FAIRification and opening activities.
* The database is cross-use case relevant, as it contains policies and measures also for other use cases.

==== DataCite - an international not-for-profit organization aiming to improve data citation ====
'' Description of database: ''
The main aim of DataCite is to provide the means to create, find, cite, connect, and use research. The primary service provided by DataCite is the registration of DOI tags. In addition, DataCite is constantly developing additional services related to DOI and related metadata, as following:
* DataCite Search (https://search.datacite.org/) - allows to search the database of DOI metadata registered in DataCite.
* DataCite Profiles (https://profiles.datacite.org/) - allows for automatic data transfer between the DataCite and ORCID systems, facilitating the update of personal profiles of researchers in ORCID with information about objects for which DOIs have been registered in DataCite.
* DataCite Statistics (https://stats.datacite.org/) - a service presenting statistical data on the number of registered DOI, their metadata records and the use of this information.
* DataCite OAI-PMH Provider (https://oai.datacite.org/) - an access interface to metadata collected in DataCite using the OAI-PMH protocol.
In addition, DataCite is involved in international projects and initiatives related to sharing and quoting research data, such as:
* the worldwide Registry of Research Data Repositories - Re3Data (https://www.re3data.org/).
* The Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC) = a collaboration between scholarly publishers, researchers, and other interested parties to promote the unrestricted availability of scholarly citation data and to make these data available.

'' Rationale for choosing this database: ''
* The inventory contains heterogeneous and dynamic data. Thus, it helps us to investigate how to approach FAIRification for such data.
* DataCite provides an integrated search interface, where it is possible to search and filter a relevant metadata gathered
* Sources of the database are coming in a variety of European languages. Thus, it helps to investigate the relevance for FAIRification and opening activities.
* The database is cross-use case relevant, as it contains DOIs and citations relevant also for other use cases.
* it's not a database in the literal sense of the word, but rather an 'access facilitator' to data.

== Notes from the afternoon session ==
The afternoon session is dedicated to discussing metadata for the selected databases. The aim of the afternoon session is to fill out [[UC3#Metadata_assessments|table 2 of the wiki page for the use case]] and to decide what to report back from the use case to the plenary session the next day (again, see the WIKI template for a suggested structure). Thus, at the end of the day, the WIKI page for the use case is complete.

* Bulleted list item

== What to report back to the plenary on Day 3? ==
* Databases selected (names and short reasoning)
* Main insights from discussions
* Suggested next steps
* Other issues

Michaelb: /* EERAdata story board */

<strong>Welcome to the EERAdata MediaWiki!</strong>

== The project EERAdata ==

'''Towards a FAIR and open data ecosystem in the low carbon energy research community.''' Transparent, re-usable, and integrated energy data enable society to choose, monitor, and implement sustainable transition pathways. It is not only a prerequisite for people to have ownership over the changes, but it is also offering huge potential for industrial and social innovation. The majority of energy databases are not fit for this purpose, which the project aims to change. The consortium develops, tests, and implements a [[FAIR_guiding_principles|FAIR]] and open data ecosystem in the energy field. FAIR stands for F-findable, A-accessible, I-interoperable, and R-re-usable. The EU-funded EERAdata project builds a pool of data stewards to guide the community towards fit-for-purpose data practices.

'''EERAdata logo and key visual'''. The elements of the logo include ''data points'' - symbolizing databases or data platforms - and a ''data folder'' which are connected through the ''feed symbol''. All stand for the idea of EERAdata to support FAIR and open data. The folder furthermore is a nostalgic reminder of the grand library catalogs to search for books, all of them are masterpieces on their own.

=== EERAdata story board ===
'''Objective:''' collect views from participants regarding energy data, energy metadata, FAIR/O problems etc. to support discussions, identification of gaps & needs (WP2) and elements to design the platform (WP3).

'''Questions:'''
* Q#1: What is your user story regarding FAIR/O energy data?
* Q#2: What is your user story regarding metadata?

Template to answer: As a <stakeholder>, I want <goal> so that <reason>.

'''How to post a story?'''
# Click on the link: https://padlet.com/janaschwanitz/aciywzt9fs1h70m2
# Click on plus at the right bottom to add a story.
# Choose a title depending on the question you want to answer. Choose for Q#1: FAIR/O data, or for Q#2: metadata. In the example above, the title “metadata” was chosen.

==== Metadata memory game ====
This is a little memory game where players need to identify triples. They will learn about metadata. A triple describes an example of metadata used in low carbon energy. Different formats, file types, and descriptions are introduced.

== Use cases in EERAdata ==
'''Definition:''' Use cases are an exercise for testing and refining the general approach towards FAIRification and opening of databases as well as to testing and refining the community platform. Use cases constitute practical commitments for implementation (PCI), i.e. the FAIRification and opening of data. Through exercises, the status quo of FAIR/O data principles in each use case is advanced by:

*Identifying taxonometric elements and metadata common among different domains of the energy system. Proper metadata will enable separating expert knowledge (and expert interest) from general knowledge and general interest, allowing coarse-grained and fine-grained navigation.
*Linking these metadata standards to existing metadata standards in other domains. Example: Weather-related data are integral to the efficient operation of PV, wind technology, or district heating. The assignment of geo-tagged information to low carbon energy technology data is thus the way forward. EERAdata will link energy domain metadata with metadata defined by ISO 19115 Geographic Metadata Information.
*Exploring a variety of challenges towards FAIRification and Opening of data. Use cases provide a means to test the EERAdata concept towards FAIRification and the opening of data. Therefore, use cases are chosen to cover, on the one hand, low hanging fruits to demonstrate do-ability, promote the FAIR/O data principle implementation and showing associated benefits for the low carbon energy research community. On the other hand, EERAdata also includes use cases where the concept is challenged, because FAIRification and opening activities are still in their infancy.
*Broad testing and application to enable trans-disciplinary research combining data from different domains and at different scales. Use cases are at the same time selected to cover wider aspects of the low carbon energy transformation, exploring different sub-domains. This ensures a broad testing and application of the FAIR/O ecosystem as well as the community platform.
*Gender as a cross-cutting issue, see [[Gender]] for more details.

==== Metadata, ontologies, thesauri etc. in energy ====
# '''Energy Management Applications (OEMA).''' Creating ontologies can be a very tedious task if done by hand. Therefore, it is crucial to automatize this procedure. Details can be found in the Wikipedia article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_learning Ontology learning]. Examples for the energy sector are: Javier Cuenca et al. [http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1936/paper-08.pdf A Unified Semantic Ontology for Energy Management Applications].

== Workshops in EERAdata ==

The workshop concept of EERAdata is developed along with the ''Index to FAIR Action Plan'' as recommended by [https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/turning_fair_into_reality_1.pdf EC Expert Group on FAIR data, 2018] More specifically, the testing and discussion of the FAIR/O ecosystem (incl. the community platform) are organized through a series of workshops that take place twice a year with sequential annual foci. Each workshop takes three days. The first day is dedicated to state of the art for each workshop topic. Experts from the energy and other research communities are invited to present best practices (ensuring the participation from institutions providing research infrastructure, academia, and industry and private sector persons). Mutual learning and exchange of knowledge are facilitated in moderated discussions following presentations. The first day advances the understanding of cutting-edge concepts and approaches towards FAIR/O data (e.g., the role of metadata, data management plans, metrics, incentive mechanisms, etc.). The second day uses the knowledge and understanding obtained during the first day to translate the concepts and approaches to the domain of low carbon energy research data at the level of selected use cases. The goal is to understand the ways of data discovery and to synthesize metadata from mental models of domain experts (otherwise proposed metadata will remain artificial and, thus, not used in the community). Hence, the work done during the second day takes place in parallel groups structured around use cases (see details below). The key participants of workshops are consortium members for each use case and the groups of stewards of FAIR/O data principles recruited from invited experts. The third day synthesizes, integrates, and concludes the results achieved during the first two days (e.g., unifying and linking metadata across use cases). First, discussed concepts and approaches for the FAIR/O ecosystem, as well as the community platform, are refined. This continuously shapes the main deliverables of the workshops. Second, the agenda of the next workshop is agreed upon and specified with respect to experts to be invited and topics to be addressed. It should be noted that the first and the second day are open to participants from outside of the consortium to allow community-wide participation in EERAdata.

*'''1st Year:''' Define. Concept for FAIR implementation. Skills for FAIR.
*'''2nd Year:''' Implement. FAIR culture. FAIR Ecosystem. Skills for FAIR.
*'''3rd Year:''' Embed & sustain. Incentives, metrics, and investments for FAIR data and services.
