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 first table of the WIKI page is filled out by noon.

Draft list of databases

• OPSD
• EIA
• OpenEI
• PSE
• NREL
• ENTSO-E
• SMARD
• WorldBank

Discussion on the choice of databases:

• OPSD
• EIA
• PSE
• ENTSO-E

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 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)
  • OPSD
  • PSE
  • EIA
  • ENTSO-e

• Main insights from discussions
  • Based on our discussion regarding current power transmission and distribution networks, there is need to address following challenges:
    • Lack of standardization for metadata taxonomy and common vocabulary (related to I2)
    • Ambiguity on licensing issues for various types of energy data (related to R1.1)
    • Lack of unique identifier for energy data (related to F1)

• • It is not clear for us how to interpret and measure following indices (they seem confusing):
    • R1.2. (meta)data are associated with detailed provenance,
    • A1.2. the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization procedure, where necessary;
    • A2. metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available;

• Suggested next steps
  • Compare the selected databases regarding their ontologies (e.g. compare SMARD, ENTSO-e, and PSE)
  • Reassess selected databases with an online FAIR toolset ()

• Other issues
