= '''About the Workshop''' =

'''5 years openmod workshop''' anniversary - A reason to celecbrate! The reason why it takes place in Berlin is not chosen by chance since Berlin was the place where the initial workshop was held in 2014. The upcoming workshop will also be bigger with '''a maximum number of 200 participants'''. Many things have changed since then, the interest in open source and open data is growing and the openmod initiative has become a known community to foster these principles :)

The openmod workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

'''Traveling to Berlin: '''Berlin is located in the center of Europe and can easily be reached by train from within Germany and all the neighboring countries – which we strongly encourage! There are night trains operated by the [https://www.nightjet.com/en/ Austrian Federal Railways ÖBB (nightjet)] [3]. Direct trains run from Zurich via Basel and Mannheim/Frankfurt to Berlin and from Vienna through the Czech Republic and Poland to Berlin. You can also take a train to Munich from Rome, Venice, and Milan and then change to the high-speed train to Berlin. From the west you can take high-speed trains from Paris, Brussels, etc. to Mannheim or Frankfurt and take the night train from there. Rates are reasonable, especially if you book early and use the “Sparschiene” offers. Book your international tickets directly through the ÖBB since night trains are easier to find here than on the German Railways website. A full list of night trains in Europe can be found [https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/trains-europe/night-trains here] [4].

If you would like to compensate for your travels, there is a nice local project called [https://www.moorfutures.de/projekte/rehwiese-brandenburg/ “MoorFutures”] [5], aiming to re-irrigate a moor close to Berlin that was drained for agricultural use (as most wetlands in Europe were). The moor will absorb carbon dioxide for climate protection but these wetlands are also important for the regional water balance and biodiversity.<br/>'''Costs: '''Participation in the workshop is free!

Berit Müller: /* Other lists of energy-related open datasets */

This is work in progress and supposed to become a link list to sources of open energy related data. We focus on collecting links to data relevant for the modelling of energy and electricity systems and markets. You are welcome to fill in the missing spots and non-existing pages. Also, you are welcome to extend the list of relevant data that we should collect links to in the future.<br/>

Weather data can be used to generate profiles for wind, solar and hydro power plants. Re-analysis or “hindcast” projects use state-of the art weather forecast models with long time series of weather observations. They create consistent series of weather data, often of decades and with a global scope. [http://reanalyses.org/ Reanalysis.org] and [https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data NCAR] provide a helpful overview of re-analysis models. Data are usually provided in GRIB or NetCDF format and can be very large in size (100s of GB).

= Data sharing techniques =

The Open Knowledge foundation promotes the use of its '''[http://data.okfn.org/ data package]''' standard. It consists of using CSV for payload (data) and a file package.json to attach machine-readable metadata. The page links to many examples of existing, curated and maintained datasets that adhere to this standard. Additionally, they drive the creation of a software ecosystem that can create and digest this format. Due to its simplicity, using data packages does not depend on this ecosystem.

'''GitHub repositories''' are another pragmatic way of sharing "small" (up to about 10 MB) datasets. A fun example is the [http://bundestag.github.io/gesetze/ Bundesgit], a collection of all German federal laws under version control. New laws or modfications are tracked as commits, allowing to "see" how a dataset -- laws, in that case -- evolve over time. The repository [https://github.com/openmundi/world.db openmundi/world.db] shows a more data-focused way of using Git, or GitHub, for collaborative collection of data. However, it clearly shows the limitations of using a version control system for code on data.

An upcoming and (technically) promising project is '''[http://dat-data.com/ dat]''', which "is a version-controlled, decentralized data tool for collaboration between data people and data systems." Or, simply: Git for data. It is currently in public beta test, but has come a long way already.

= Data sharing techniques =

The Open Knowledge foundation promotes the use of its '''[http://data.okfn.org/ data package]''' standard. It consists of using CSV for payload (data) and a file package.json to attach machine-readable metadata. The page links to many examples of existing, curated and maintained datasets that adhere to this standard. Additionally, they drive the creation of a software ecosystem that can create and digest this format. Due to its simplicity, using data packages does not depend on this ecosystem.

'''GitHub repositories''' are another pragmatic way of sharing "small" (up to about 10 MB) datasets. A fun example is the [http://bundestag.github.io/gesetze/ Bundesgit], a collection of all German federal laws under version control. New laws or modfications are tracked as commits, allowing to "see" how a dataset -- laws, in that case -- evolve over time. The repository [https://github.com/openmundi/world.db openmundi/world.db] shows a more data-focused way of using Git, or GitHub, for collaborative collection of data. However, it clearly shows the limitations of using a version control system for code on data.

An upcoming and (technically) promising project is '''[http://dat-data.com/ dat]''', which "is a version-controlled, decentralized data tool for collaboration between data people and data systems." Or, simply: Git for data. It is currently in public beta test, but has come a long way already.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Munich 2017

2017-10-11T22:13:28Z

Berit Müller: /* Day 2: Main workshop (Thursday 12 October 2017) */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 7th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Garching/Munich, Germany''' hosted by the [http://www.ens.ei.tum.de/en Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems] of the Technical University of Munich (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''12-13 October 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on '''11 October 2017'''. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. In the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] or [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The openmod workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

= Practical Information =

'''Venue:''' Center for Energy and Information, [http://www.ens.ei.tum.de/en Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems]

'''Getting there:''' The chair is located outside of Munich at Garching Forschungszentrum, which is the last station in the north of the [https://efa.mvv-muenchen.de/index.html#trip@enquiry subway U6]. Depending on where your hotel is, it can be up to 45 minutes to get from the city center to the campus. Our institute can also be reached by car, there are [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/48.26419/11.66459 parking possibilites] at the campus.

'''Map:''' [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/369099969 OpenStreetMap]

'''Accommodation:''' If you want to travel to the campus by subway, try to find a hotel near the U6, as the public transportation network is centralized and there are only limited connections between the outer parts of the city. If you arrive by car, ensure that the hotel has parking opportunities or look for hotels outside of Munich, since parking is most of the times an issue in Munich.

'''GENERAL HINT (WINDOWS AGAIN)'''<br/>
To quickly open a command prompt in Windows, I recommend the key combination <Win>+R, followed by the command 'cmd' and pressing <Enter>. From there, proceed to entering the commands starting 'git ...'

For the oemof tutorial you need to have a running Python 3 environment. Secondly you need to install oemof and a solver. The following list explains how to do this. You'll find detailled information when you follow the links. If you have any questions or things are not working as expected please use the Q&A section in the openmod forum with tag #oemof.<br/>

#Install oemof OR Python 3 and oemof<br/>
##If you have a running Python 3 environment you install oemof via pip: [https://github.com/oemof/oemof#installing-oemof https://github.com/oemof/oemof#installing-oemof]<br/>
##If you do not have a running Python 3 environment, look here for detailed information for Linux systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#using-linux-repositories-to-install-python http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#using-linux-repositories-to-install-python] ... and here for Windows systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#windows http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#windows]. For Windows user there even exists a Youtube Tutorial: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFvoM36_szM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFvoM36_szM]. (It is recommended to use a virtual Python environment and not to install all required packages globally on your system.)

#Install a solver: I recommend using CBC, because it's much faster than GLPK. Find guidelines her for Linux systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#solver http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#solver]... and here for Windows systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation_and_setup.html#windows-solver http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation_and_setup.html#windows-solver]
#You can test your installation as follows: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#run-examples-to-check-the-installation http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#run-examples-to-check-the-installation]

'''INSTALLATION NOTE (FOR WINDOWS)'''<br/>
On screen 'Adjusting your PATH environment', I strongly recommend to choose option 2, that means:<br/>

   (x) Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt<br/>

The other two options are either inconvenient (option 1) or too disruptive (option 3) for my taste. For all other screens, simply stick to the (sane) defaults, unless you know you prefer a non-default setting.<br/>

'''GENERAL HINT (WINDOWS AGAIN)'''<br/>
To quickly open a command prompt in Windows, I recommend the key combination <Win>+R, followed by the command 'cmd' and pressing <Enter>. From there, proceed to entering the commands starting 'git ...'

= Saturday event =

I don't know if there is anything officially planned for the final Saturday, but if you are in Munich with some time to spare, I would highly recommend a visit to the '''energy.transitions''' exhibition at the Deutsches Museum. See [http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/exhibitions/special-exhibitions/energiewenden/ here]. Captioned in Deutsch and English. Opening hours are 9:00 to 17:00. For energy modelers, there is a system design game. But my favorite is the 1950s science kit for kids that shipped with radioactive uranium ore. (Robbie Morrison)

If you are staying in Munich over the weekend, consider going to the "Lange Nacht der Museen" (long night of museums). For about 15€ you can access almost all the museums of Munich from 7 p.m. till 2 a.m. (Kais Siala)

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Munich 2017

2017-10-11T22:11:57Z

Berit Müller: /* Day 2: Main workshop (Thursday 12 October 2017) */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 7th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Garching/Munich, Germany''' hosted by the [http://www.ens.ei.tum.de/en Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems] of the Technical University of Munich (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''12-13 October 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on '''11 October 2017'''. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. In the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] or [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The openmod workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

= Practical Information =

'''Venue:''' Center for Energy and Information, [http://www.ens.ei.tum.de/en Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems]

'''Getting there:''' The chair is located outside of Munich at Garching Forschungszentrum, which is the last station in the north of the [https://efa.mvv-muenchen.de/index.html#trip@enquiry subway U6]. Depending on where your hotel is, it can be up to 45 minutes to get from the city center to the campus. Our institute can also be reached by car, there are [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/48.26419/11.66459 parking possibilites] at the campus.

'''Map:''' [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/369099969 OpenStreetMap]

'''Accommodation:''' If you want to travel to the campus by subway, try to find a hotel near the U6, as the public transportation network is centralized and there are only limited connections between the outer parts of the city. If you arrive by car, ensure that the hotel has parking opportunities or look for hotels outside of Munich, since parking is most of the times an issue in Munich.

= Saturday event =

I don't know if there is anything officially planned for the final Saturday, but if you are in Munich with some time to spare, I would highly recommend a visit to the '''energy.transitions''' exhibition at the Deutsches Museum. See [http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/exhibitions/special-exhibitions/energiewenden/ here]. Captioned in Deutsch and English. Opening hours are 9:00 to 17:00. For energy modelers, there is a system design game. But my favorite is the 1950s science kit for kids that shipped with radioactive uranium ore. (Robbie Morrison)

If you are staying in Munich over the weekend, consider going to the "Lange Nacht der Museen" (long night of museums). For about 15€ you can access almost all the museums of Munich from 7 p.m. till 2 a.m. (Kais Siala)

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Munich 2017

2017-10-11T20:55:58Z

Berit Müller:

This is the wiki page for the upcoming 7th Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Garching/Munich, Germany''' hosted by the [http://www.ens.ei.tum.de/en Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems] of the Technical University of Munich (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''12-13 October 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on '''11 October 2017'''. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. In the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/ forum] or [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The openmod workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

= Practical Information =

'''Venue:''' Center for Energy and Information, [http://www.ens.ei.tum.de/en Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems]

'''Getting there:''' The chair is located outside of Munich at Garching Forschungszentrum, which is the last station in the north of the [https://efa.mvv-muenchen.de/index.html#trip@enquiry subway U6]. Depending on where your hotel is, it can be up to 45 minutes to get from the city center to the campus. Our institute can also be reached by car, there are [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/48.26419/11.66459 parking possibilites] at the campus.

'''Map:''' [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/369099969 OpenStreetMap]

'''Accommodation:''' If you want to travel to the campus by subway, try to find a hotel near the U6, as the public transportation network is centralized and there are only limited connections between the outer parts of the city. If you arrive by car, ensure that the hotel has parking opportunities or look for hotels outside of Munich, since parking is most of the times an issue in Munich.

For the oemof tutorial you need to have a running Python 3 environment. Secondly you need to install oemof and a solver. The following list explains how to do this. You'll find detailled information when you follow the links. If you have any questions or things are not working as expected please use the Q&A section in the openmod forum with tag #oemof.<br/>

#Install oemof OR Python 3 and oemof<br/>
##If you have a running Python 3 environment you install oemof via pip: [https://github.com/oemof/oemof#installing-oemof https://github.com/oemof/oemof#installing-oemof]<br/>
##If you do not have a running Python 3 environment, look here for detailed information for Linux systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#using-linux-repositories-to-install-python http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#using-linux-repositories-to-install-python] ... and here for Windows systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#windows http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#windows].

(It is recommended to use a virtual Python environment and not to install all required packages globally on your system.)

#Install a solver: I recommend using CBC, because it's much faster than GLPK. Find guidelines her for Linux systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#solver http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_and_setup.html#solver]... and here for Windows systems: [http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation_and_setup.html#windows-solver http://oemof.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation_and_setup.html#windows-solver]

'''INSTALLATION NOTE (FOR WINDOWS)'''<br/>
On screen 'Adjusting your PATH environment', I strongly recommend to choose option 2, that means:<br/>

   (x) Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt<br/>

The other two options are either inconvenient (option 1) or too disruptive (option 3) for my taste. For all other screens, simply stick to the (sane) defaults, unless you know you prefer a non-default setting.<br/>

'''GENERAL HINT (WINDOWS AGAIN)'''<br/>
To quickly open a command prompt in Windows, I recommend the key combination <Win>+R, followed by the command 'cmd' and pressing <Enter>. From there, proceed to entering the commands starting 'git ...'

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-03T15:09:38Z

Berit Müller:

This is the wiki page for the upcoming Sixth Workshop of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, a grass-roots organization of modellers from various research institutes, universities and companies. The workshop will take place in '''Frankfurt, Germany''' hosted by the [https://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/en/ Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies] (see [[Events|Events]] for previous workshops). The workshop will take place on '''20-21 April 2017''', with an optional tutorial day before on 19 April 2017. Since the workshop is run by volunteers, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a programme and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the programme. In the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.

= About the workshop =

The Openmod Workshops provide a forum for modellers to come together and discuss how to further the use of open data and open software tools in the energy modelling community. Topics range from exchanges about specific types of data (e.g. sources for open data on building stocks or distribution networks) to advocacy and outreach.

Only a small part of the workshop consists of prepared presentations. For the rest of the workshop, participants work together in breakout groups on specific topics. The topics are chosen by the participants themselves, so please get actively involved by suggesting topics! To get the most out of the workshop, it is suggested to consider in advance what you would like to discuss.

Breakout groups should have specific aims, which can be followed up after the workshop, e.g. improving the openmod wiki pages, lobbying a data-holder to change its licencing, improving educational tools, or outreach.

DatabaseRules

2016-12-01T19:43:34Z

Berit Müller: /* Database Schema */

{{GlossaryTermTemp
|SubtermOf=Database
}}
= OpenEnergy Data Base (oedb)<br/> =

The following database rules explain the basic principles of the database called oedb, which will become a part of the openmod internet presence. For further details see also [[Database|here]].<br/>

== Open Data<br/> ==

*Only use data with suitable licences<br/>
*<span lang="EN-US">Do not upload restricted data into the database</span><br/>

More Information can be found on [[Choosing a license|Open Licenses.]] Additional, the Project Open Power System Data is dealing this topic on [http://open-power-system-data.org/legal OPSD - Legal].

<br/>

<br/>

== Data Documentation<br/> ==

*All data included in the databases has be documented! On this wiki page you learn how to do so<br/>
*All abreviations have to be documentated in the of the openmod wiki<br/>

== Naming of Data<br/> ==

*The nomenclature should follow a logical structure<br/>
*There are different levels of naming<br/>

=== Database Name<br/> ===

*The name of the database is<br/>

<br/>

=== Database Schema<br/> ===

you find the current version of the oedb schema [[Database_schema|here]]<br/><br/>

=== Database Table<br/> ===

*always lower case<br/>
*no points, no commas<br/>
*no spaces<br/>
*no dates<br/>
*use underscores

<br/>

The table name consists of

#name starts with the source, project or model name (e.g. zensus, eGo)
#main value (e.g. population)
#if separated by [attribute] (e.g. by_gender)
#with resolution [tupel] (e.g. per_mun)

Example: ''zensus_population_by_gender_per_mun''<br/><br/>

Remember to put your abbreviations in the Glossary

=== Database View / Materialized View ===

Views should only be used to

*filter a table
*join diferent tables
*st_transform to change kbs

The views name should the original table with action and _view or _mview.

Example: ''zensus_population_by_gender_per_mun_berlin_mview''

Hint: Do not open large views with QGIS, use MView and set GIST index on geom.

== Data Integrity<br/> ==

"Data integrity refers to maintaining and assuring the accuracy and consistency of data over its entire life-cycle." ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_integrity Wikipedia]) These two aspects belong to the [[Data quality|data quality]] criteria, the data in the oedb should meet.

<br/>

=== General<br/> ===

*Each table should have a single auto-incremented integer column as Primary Key with the corresponding table constraint.<br/>
*Grant all privilegs to oeuser (automatically done by the system)

=== Geografic Data<br/> ===

*Attribut name is '''geom.'''
*Data type is '''geometry''' (or raster).
*One of the '''Geometric Types''' is defined ([https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html])
*The '''CRS''' is defined as EPSG ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/])
**Original data stays with the original CRS!
**Prefered CRS of the oedb are:<br/>

#WGS84 - EPSG: 4326 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/])
#ETRS89 / ETRS-LAEA - EPSG: 3035 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/])

*Spacial index '''GIST''' has to be set

<br/>

== Data Referencing<br/> ==

There are several useful attributes on a table users have to know in order to work with the contained data efficiently. Therefore, ensuring the quality of these meta data is as important as ensuring the quality of the data itself (see also [[Data quality|here]]).<br/>

For these meta data the documentation open-standard Json is used ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON Wiki] and [http://www.json.org/ Json.org]). The documentation is separated in two major categories:

#Comments on tables: Contains metadata that define several aspects for the whole table
#Comments on rows: Store important informations on a specific row and the stored data

<br/>

=== Comments on Tables<br/> ===

Comments on a table are json-dictionary as strings that describe the overall structure of the corresponding table. For every field the corresponding unit (in case of numerical values) and a description that specifies the contained data should be attached. The attribute names begin with an <u>upper case</u> and are given by the following definition of <span style="font-weight: normal"></span><span style="font-weight: normal">Database Tables. The Json meta documentation string is stored as table comment  on the database table.</span>

<br/>

<br/>

====  Meta Documentation of Tables<br/> ====

Original Data (orig) are defined as data from one source which are not further processed (see: '''Database Schema'''). The metadata Documentation for those data sets are set as a comment on the table. Following meta data are proposed:<br/>

<br/>

=== Meta Documentation of data collections from several sources: ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

In addition to the meta documentation described above, data tables (blue table in figure) which include data from several sources get a ref_id column. The ref_id links each row with a json documentation string (ref_data_json) in the database table public.reference_to_entries (green table in figure).This table also includes the ref_data_json column which links to all sources of the row to be referenced (blue). The ref_data_json string includes one jabref_entries_id for each source used. The jabref_entries_id is matched by one entries_id belonging to a source stored in the public.entries table (orange table).

=== Comments on Rows<br/> ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

The comments on a row aim to enhance the reproducabilty of data that is present in the database by stating the underlying data that was used to compute this  row as well as the applied computational methods.<br/>

During these processes some kinds of uncertainities might occur as well as the decissions (assumtions) that were made to deal with them. Examplatory, some values might be missing amid this row and a linear development during this period was assumed to fix this gap. Each row has to be annotated by a json dictionary that must contain the following fields:<br/>

==C1 and C2==
Hi,<br/>thanks for taking the initiative, Robbie.<br/>Personally I prefer C1 and C2 over all others. The reason is that they appear much more compact and readible than all the others.<br/>I would suggest to mix colors though. Black writing and colorful box, maybe stick to the red. I think I would need to see some combination experiments here.<br/>A-logos: I find they look like a cloud picture of text (I forget how they are called, you know, when you count words and size the font according to their frequency)<br/>B-logos: My eye does not know where to focus as the left bound is hopping from o to i to o<br/>D: Too fat, too much color, it is jumping at me<br/>E: I could go for that as an alternative, however, I still prefer C as C is more "airy", E is square and full, C is open and leaves room for the eye<br/>F: My eye does not know where to focus<br/>G: My eye does not know where to focus and I feel like spinning sideways :) too much playing around for me<br/>H1-4: Again too complex for a logo for my liking, too many elements<br/>H5-6: Could potentially do with that however I find the logo not compact enough. It looks as it is falling apart due to gravity. Kind of words drooling.<br/>Hope that helps. My personal views. Looking forward to discussion. <br/>Best Eva<span class="userid-40 comment-signature" timestamp="20161019060803">[[User:Eva Schmid|Eva Schmid]] 19 October 2016, 08:08 (CEST)</span>

==C1 and C2==
Hi,<br/>thanks for taking the initiative, Robbie.<br/>Personally I prefer C1 and C2 over all others. The reason is that they appear much more compact and readible than all the others.<br/>I would suggest to mix colors though. Black writing and colorful box, maybe stick to the red. I think I would need to see some combination experiments here.<br/>A-logos: I find they look like a cloud picture of text (I forget how they are called, you know, when you count words and size the font according to their frequency)<br/>B-logos: My eye does not know where to focus as the left bound is hopping from o to i to o<br/>D: Too fat, too much color, it is jumping at me<br/>E: I could go for that as an alternative, however, I still prefer C as C is more "airy", E is square and full, C is open and leaves room for the eye<br/>F: My eye does not know where to focus<br/>G: My eye does not know where to focus and I feel like spinning sideways :) too much playing around for me<br/>H1-4: Again too complex for a logo for my liking, too many elements<br/>H5-6: Could potentially do with that however I find the logo not compact enough. It looks as it is falling apart due to gravity. Kind of words drooling.<br/>Hope that helps. My personal views. Looking forward to discussion. <br/>Best Eva<span class="userid-40 comment-signature" timestamp="20161019060803">[[User:Eva Schmid|Eva Schmid]] 19 October 2016, 08:08 (CEST)</span>

DatabaseRules

2016-10-31T10:34:20Z

Berit Müller:

{{GlossaryTermTemp
|SubtermOf=Database
}}
= OpenEnergy Data Base (oedb)<br/> =

The following database rules explain the basic principles of the database called oedb, which will become a part of the openmod internet presence. For further details see also [[Database|here]].<br/>

== Open Data<br/> ==

*Only use data with suitable licences<br/>
*<span lang="EN-US">Do not upload restricted data into the database</span><br/>

More Information can be found on [[Choosing a license|Open Licenses.]] Additional, the Project Open Power System Data is dealing this topic on [http://open-power-system-data.org/legal OPSD - Legal].

<br/>

<br/>

== Data Documentation<br/> ==

*All data included in the databases has be documented! On this wiki page you learn how to do so<br/>
*All abreviations have to be documentated in the of the openmod wiki<br/>

== Naming of Data<br/> ==

*The nomenclature should follow a logical structure<br/>
*There are different levels of naming<br/>

=== Database Name<br/> ===

*The name of the database is<br/>

<br/>

=== Database Schema<br/> ===

*There are schemas to structure tables
*The following schemas are already in existence:<br/>
**demand<br/>
**economic
**emission
**environmental
**grid
**openstreetmap
**political_boundary
**scenario<br/>
**social
**supply
**weather<br/>

<br/>

*Special schemas:<br/>
**model_draft<br/>
***model data<br/>
***has no version control

*
*reference<br/>
**

*sources<br/>
**

*literature<br/>

Further schema categories or changes can be [https://github.com/openego/oeplatform/issues discussed on GitHub]. There is a whitelist.<br/>

<br/>

=== Database Table<br/> ===

*always lower case<br/>
*no points, no commas<br/>
*no spaces<br/>
*no dates<br/>
*use underscores

<br/>

The table name consists of

#name starts with the source, project or model name (e.g. zensus, eGo)
#main value (e.g. population)
#if separated by [attribute] (e.g. by_gender)
#with resolution [tupel] (e.g. per_mun)

Example: ''zensus_population_by_gender_per_mun''<br/><br/>

Remember to put your abbreviations in the

== Data Integrity<br/> ==

"Data integrity refers to maintaining and assuring the accuracy and consistency of data over its entire life-cycle." ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_integrity Wikipedia]) These two aspects belong to the [[Data quality|data quality]] criteria, the data in the oedb should meet.

<br/>

=== General<br/> ===

*Each table should have a single auto-incremented integer column as Primary Key with the corresponding table constraint.<br/>
*Grant all privilegs to oeuser (automatically done by the system)

=== Geografic Data<br/> ===

*Attribut name is '''geom.'''
*Data type is '''geometry''' (or raster).
*One of the '''Geometric Types''' is defined ([https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html])
*The '''CRS''' is defined as EPSG ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/])
**Original data stays with the original CRS!
**Prefered CRS of the oedb are:<br/>

#WGS84 - EPSG: 4326 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/])
#ETRS89 / ETRS-LAEA - EPSG: 3035 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/])

*Spacial index '''GIST''' has to be set

<br/>

== Data Referencing<br/> ==

There are several useful attributes on a table users have to know in order to work with the contained data efficiently. Therefore, ensuring the quality of these meta data is as important as ensuring the quality of the data itself (see also [[Data quality|here]]).<br/>

For these meta data the documentation open-standard Json is used ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON Wiki] and [http://www.json.org/ Json.org]). The documentation is separated in two major categories:

#Comments on tables: Contains metadata that define several aspects for the whole table
#Comments on rows: Store important informations on a specific row and the stored data

<br/>

=== Comments on Tables<br/> ===

Comments on a table are json-dictionary as strings that describe the overall structure of the corresponding table. For every field the corresponding unit (in case of numerical values) and a description that specifies the contained data should be attached. The attribute names begin with an <u>upper case</u> and are given by the following definition of <span style="font-weight: normal"></span><span style="font-weight: normal">Database Tables. The Json meta documentation string is stored as table comment  on the database table.</span>

<br/>

<br/>

====  Meta Documentation of Tables<br/> ====

Original Data (orig) are defined as data from one source which are not further processed (see: '''Database Schema'''). The metadata Documentation for those data sets are set as a comment on the table. Following meta data are proposed:<br/>

=== Meta Documentation of data collections from several sources: ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

In addition to the meta documentation described above, data tables (blue table in figure) which include data from several sources get a ref_id column. The ref_id links each row with a json documentation string (ref_data_json) in the database table public.reference_to_entries (green table in figure).This table also includes the ref_data_json column which links to all sources of the row to be referenced (blue). The ref_data_json string includes one jabref_entries_id for each source used. The jabref_entries_id is matched by one entries_id belonging to a source stored in the public.entries table (orange table).

=== Comments on Rows<br/> ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

The comments on a row aim to enhance the reproducabilty of data that is present in the database by stating the underlying data that was used to compute this  row as well as the applied computational methods.<br/>

During these processes some kinds of uncertainities might occur as well as the decissions (assumtions) that were made to deal with them. Examplatory, some values might be missing amid this row and a linear development during this period was assumed to fix this gap. Each row has to be annotated by a json dictionary that must contain the following fields:<br/>

= OpenEnergy Data Base (oedb)<br/> =

The following database rules explain the basic principles of the database called oedb, which will become a part of the openmod internet presence. For further details see also [[Database|here]].<br/>

== Open Data<br/> ==

*Only use data with suitable licences<br/>
*<span lang="EN-US">Do not upload restricted data into the database</span><br/>

More Information can be found on [[Choosing a license|Open Licenses.]] Additional, the Project Open Power System Data is dealing this topic on [http://open-power-system-data.org/legal OPSD - Legal].

<br/>

<br/>

== Data Documentation<br/> ==

*All data included in the databases has be documented! On this wiki page you learn how to do so<br/>
*All abreviations have to be documentated in the of the openmod wiki<br/>

== Naming of Data<br/> ==

*The nomenclature should follow a logical structure<br/>
*There are different levels of naming<br/>

=== Database Name<br/> ===

*The name of the database is<br/>

<br/>

=== Database Schema<br/> ===

*There are schemas to structure tables
*The following schemas are already in existence:<br/>
**demand<br/>
**economic
**emission
**environmental
**grid
**openstreetmap
**political_boundary
**scenario<br/>
**social
**supply
**weather<br/>

<br/>

*Special schemas:<br/>
**model_draft<br/>
***model data<br/>
***has no version control

*
*reference<br/>
**

*sources<br/>
**

*literature<br/>

Further schema categories or changes can be [https://github.com/openego/oeplatform/issues discussed on GitHub]. There is a whitelist.<br/>

<br/>

=== Database Table<br/> ===

*always lower case<br/>
*no points, no commas<br/>
*no spaces<br/>
*no dates<br/>
*use underscores

<br/>

The table name consists of

#name starts with the source, project or model name (e.g. zensus, eGo)
#main value (e.g. population)
#if separated by [attribute] (e.g. by_gender)
#with resolution [tupel] (e.g. per_mun)

Example: ''zensus_population_by_gender_per_mun''<br/><br/>

Remember to put your abbreviations in the

= Data Integrity<br/> =

"Data integrity refers to maintaining and assuring the accuracy and consistency of data over its entire life-cycle." ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_integrity Wikipedia]) These two aspects belong to the [[Data quality|data quality]] criteria, the data in the oedb should meet.

<br/>

=== General<br/> ===

*Each table should have a single auto-incremented integer column as Primary Key with the corresponding table constraint.<br/>
*Grant all privilegs to oeuser (automatically done by the system)<br/><br/>

<br/>

<br/>

=== Geografic Data<br/> ===

*Attribut name is '''geom.'''
*Data type is '''geometry''' (or raster).
*One of the '''Geometric Types''' is defined ([https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html])
*The '''CRS''' is defined as EPSG ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/])
**Original data stays with the original CRS!
**Prefered CRS of the oedb are:<br/>

#WGS84 - EPSG: 4326 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/])
#ETRS89 / ETRS-LAEA - EPSG: 3035 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/])

*Spacial index '''GIST''' has to be set

<br/>

== Data Referencing<br/> ==

There are several useful attributes on a table users have to know in order to work with the contained data efficiently. Therefore, ensuring the quality of these meta data is as important as ensuring the quality of the data itself (see also [[Data quality|here]]).<br/>

For these meta data the documentation open-standard Json is used ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON Wiki] and [http://www.json.org/ Json.org]). The documentation is separated in two major categories:

#Comments on tables: Contains metadata that define several aspects for the whole table
#Comments on rows: Store important informations on a specific row and the stored data

<br/>

=== Comments on Tables<br/> ===

Comments on a table are json-dictionary as strings that describe the overall structure of the corresponding table. For every field the corresponding unit (in case of numerical values) and a description that specifies the contained data should be attached. The attribute names begin with an <u>upper case</u> and are given by the following definition of <span style="font-weight: normal"></span><span style="font-weight: normal">Database Tables. The Json meta documentation string is stored as table comment  on the database table.</span>

<br/>

<br/>

====  Meta Documentation of Tables<br/> ====

Original Data (orig) are defined as data from one source which are not further processed (see: '''Database Schema'''). The metadata Documentation for those data sets are set as a comment on the table. Following meta data are proposed:<br/>

=== Meta Documentation of data collections from several sources: ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

In addition to the meta documentation described above, data tables (blue table in figure) which include data from several sources get a ref_id column. The ref_id links each row with a json documentation string (ref_data_json) in the database table public.reference_to_entries (green table in figure).This table also includes the ref_data_json column which links to all sources of the row to be referenced (blue). The ref_data_json string includes one jabref_entries_id for each source used. The jabref_entries_id is matched by one entries_id belonging to a source stored in the public.entries table (orange table).

=== Comments on Rows<br/> ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

The comments on a row aim to enhance the reproducabilty of data that is present in the database by stating the underlying data that was used to compute this  row as well as the applied computational methods.<br/>

During these processes some kinds of uncertainities might occur as well as the decissions (assumtions) that were made to deal with them. Examplatory, some values might be missing amid this row and a linear development during this period was assumed to fix this gap. Each row has to be annotated by a json dictionary that must contain the following fields:<br/>

}}
= OpenEnergy Data Base (oedb)<br/> =

The following database rules explain the basic principles of the database called oedb, which will become a part of the openmod internet presence. For further details see also [[Database|here]].<br/>

= Open Data<br/> =

*Only use data with suitable licences<br/>
*<span lang="EN-US">Do not upload restricted data into the database</span><br/>

More Information can be found on [[Choosing a license|Open Licenses.]] Additional, the Project Open Power System Data is dealing this topic on [http://open-power-system-data.org/legal OPSD - Legal].

<br/>

<br/>

= Data Documentation<br/> =

*All data included in the databases has be documented! On this wiki page you learn how to do so<br/>
*All abreviations have to be documentated in the of the openmod wiki<br/>

= Naming of Data<br/> =

*The nomenclature should follow a logical structure<br/>
*There are different levels of naming<br/>

== Database Name<br/> ==

*The name of the database is<br/>

<br/>

== Database Schema<br/> ==

*There are schemas to structure tables
*The following schemas are already in existence:<br/>
**demand<br/>
**economic
**emission
**environmental
**grid
**openstreetmap
**political_boundary
**scenario<br/>
**social
**supply
**weather<br/>

<br/>

*Special schemas:<br/>
**model_draft<br/>
***model data<br/>
***has no version control

*
*reference<br/>
**
*sources<br/>
***literature<br/>

Further schema categories or changes can be [https://github.com/openego/oeplatform/issues discussed on GitHub]. There is a whitelist.<br/>

<br/>

== Database Table ==

*always lower case<br/>
*no points, no commas<br/>
*no spaces<br/>
*no dates<br/>
*use underscores

<br/>

The table name consists of

#name starts with the source, project or model name (e.g. zensus, eGo)
#main value (e.g. population)
#if separated by [attribute] (e.g. by_gender)
#with resolution [tupel] (e.g. per_mun)

Example: ''zensus_population_by_gender_per_mun''<br/><br/>

Remember to put your abbreviations in the

= Data Integrity<br/> =

"Data integrity refers to maintaining and assuring the accuracy and consistency of data over its entire life-cycle." ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_integrity Wikipedia]) These two aspects belong to the [[Data quality|data quality]] criteria, the data in the oedb should meet.

<br/>

== General ==

*Each table should have a single auto-incremented integer column as Primary Key with the corresponding table constraint.<br/>
*Grant all privilegs to oeuser (automatically done by the system)<br/><br/>

<br/>

<br/>

== Geografic Data<br/> ==

*Attribut name is '''geom.'''
*Data type is '''geometry''' (or raster).
*One of the '''Geometric Types''' is defined ([https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html])
*The '''CRS''' is defined as EPSG ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/])
**Original data stays with the original CRS!
**Prefered CRS of the oedb are:<br/>

#WGS84 - EPSG: 4326 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/])
#ETRS89 / ETRS-LAEA - EPSG: 3035 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/])

*Spacial index '''GIST''' has to be set

<br/>

= Data Referencing<br/> =

There are several useful attributes on a table users have to know in order to work with the contained data efficiently. Therefore, ensuring the quality of these meta data is as important as ensuring the quality of the data itself (see also [[Data quality|here]]).

For these meta data the documentation open-standard Json is used ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON Wiki] and [http://www.json.org/ Json.org]). The documentation is separated in two major categories:

#Comments on tables: Contains metadata that define several aspects for the whole table
#Comments on rows: Store important informations on a specific row and the stored data

<br/><br/>

<br/>

<br/><br/>

<br/>

=== Comments on Tables<br/> ===

Comments on a table are json-dictionary as strings that describe the overall structure of the corresponding table. For every field the corresponding unit (in case of numerical values) and a description that specifies the contained data should be attached. The attribute names begin with an <u>upper case</u> and are given by the following definition of <span style="font-weight: normal"></span><span style="font-weight: normal">Database Tables. The Json meta documentation string is stored as table comment  on the database table.</span>

<br/>

<br/>

====  Meta Documentation of Tables<br/> ====

Original Data (orig) are defined as data from one source which are not further processed (see: '''Database Schema'''). The metadata Documentation for those data sets are set as a comment on the table. Following meta data are proposed:<br/>

=== Meta Documentation of data collections from several sources: ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

In addition to the meta documentation described above, data tables (blue table in figure) which include data from several sources get a ref_id column. The ref_id links each row with a json documentation string (ref_data_json) in the database table public.reference_to_entries (green table in figure).This table also includes the ref_data_json column which links to all sources of the row to be referenced (blue). The ref_data_json string includes one jabref_entries_id for each source used. The jabref_entries_id is matched by one entries_id belonging to a source stored in the public.entries table (orange table).

=== Comments on Rows<br/> ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

The comments on a row aim to enhance the reproducabilty of data that is present in the database by stating the underlying data that was used to compute this  row as well as the applied computational methods.<br/>

During these processes some kinds of uncertainities might occur as well as the decissions (assumtions) that were made to deal with them. Examplatory, some values might be missing amid this row and a linear development during this period was assumed to fix this gap. Each row has to be annotated by a json dictionary that must contain the following fields:<br/>

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Milano 2016

2016-10-27T06:59:43Z

Berit Müller:

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fifth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-roots organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin, one in London and one in Stockholm, the next one will be in '''Milano, Italy hosted by the [http://www.energia.polimi.it/english/index.php? Politecnico di Milano – Department of Energy (Mi Bovisa branch)]'''.The workshop takes place on '''27-28 October, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.<br/>

We try to stream the openmod workshop live on ''[https://www.twitch.tv/openmod https://www.twitch.tv/openmod]''

<br/>

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!<br/>

<br/>

The bulk of the workshop consists of breakout groups, where specific topics are discussed and worked upon. People can suggest breakout topics in advance, but to keep the workshop fluid and adaptable, topics can also be suggested on the day.

<br/>

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Milano 2016

2016-10-21T23:05:33Z

Berit Müller: /* Short talks and presentations */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fifth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-roots organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin, one in London and one in Stockholm, the next one will be in '''Milano, Italy hosted by the [http://www.energia.polimi.it/english/index.php? Politecnico di Milano – Department of Energy (Mi Bovisa branch)]'''.The workshop takes place on '''27-28 October, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.<br/>

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!<br/>

<br/>

The bulk of the workshop consists of breakout groups, where specific topics are discussed and worked upon. People can suggest breakout topics in advance, but to keep the workshop fluid and adaptable, topics can also be suggested on the day.

== Practical information ==

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Milano 2016

2016-10-14T20:18:58Z

Berit Müller: /* Breakout-groups */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fifth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-roots organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin, one in London and one in Stockholm, the next one will be in '''Milano, Italy hosted by the [http://www.energia.polimi.it/english/index.php? Politecnico di Milano – Department of Energy (Mi Bovisa branch)]'''.The workshop takes place on '''27-28 October, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.<br/>

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!<br/>

<br/>

The bulk of the workshop consists of breakout groups, where specific topics are discussed and worked upon. People can suggest breakout topics in advance, but to keep the workshop fluid and adaptable, topics can also be suggested on the day.

== Practical information ==

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Milano 2016

2016-10-14T20:15:51Z

Berit Müller: /* Please add you name and link to your wiki profile here! */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fifth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-roots organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin, one in London and one in Stockholm, the next one will be in '''Milano, Italy hosted by the [http://www.energia.polimi.it/english/index.php? Politecnico di Milano – Department of Energy (Mi Bovisa branch)]'''.The workshop takes place on '''27-28 October, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.<br/>

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!<br/>

<br/>

The bulk of the workshop consists of breakout groups, where specific topics are discussed and worked upon. People can suggest breakout topics in advance, but to keep the workshop fluid and adaptable, topics can also be suggested on the day.

== Breakout-groups<br/> ==

The workshop is organised from and for modellers and stakeholders of the open energy modelling community who want to exchange and discuss about energy models, code, data, licenses, transparency, making results understandable to stakeholders,...; if you are interested in a special subject you can propose a breakout group and find other participants who want to discuss the same subject.

Please use the google sheet for [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZYzmHimwBbj3sXgL-23oypjbKG55twm4eJYE6lCmc_M/edit#heading=h.2xxjmj2cprel breakout groups] to communicate your ideas for breakout groups or to add your name to a group that you would like to join. You can add suggestions for the content either in the table or as a comment.

Berit Müller: /* Comments on Tables */

{{GlossaryTermTemp
|SubtermOf=Database
}}
The following database rules explain the basic principles of the database called oedb, which will become a part of the openmod internet presence. For further details see also [[Database|here]].<br/>

= Open Data<br/> =

*Only use data with suitable licences<br/>
*<span lang="EN-US">Do not upload restricted data into the database</span><br/>

= Data Documentation<br/> =

*All data included in the databases has be documented! On this wiki page you learn how to do so<br/>
*All abreviations have to be documentated in the [[Category:Glossary|Glossary]] of the openmod wiki<br/>

= Naming of Data<br/> =

*The nomenclature should follow a logical structure<br/>
*There are different levels of naming<br/>

== Database Name<br/> ==

*The name of the database is <br/>

== Database Schema<br/> ==

*There are schemas to structure tables
*The following schemas are already in existence:<br/>
**demand<br/>
**economic
**emission
**environmental
**grid
**openstreetmap
**political_boundary
**scenario<br/>
**social
**supply
**weather<br/>

<br/>

*<u></u>Special schemas:<br/>
**model_draft<br/>
***model data<br/>
***has no version control

**reference<br/>
***sources<br/>
***literature<br/>

Further schema categories or changes can be [https://github.com/openego/oeplatform/issues discussed on GitHub]. There is a whitelist.<br/>

== Database Table ==

*always lower case<br/>
*no points, no commas<br/>
*no spaces<br/>
*no dates<br/>
*use underscores

<br/>

The table name consists of

#name starts with the source, project or model name (e.g. zensus, eGo)
#main value (e.g. population)
#if separated by [attribute] (e.g. by_gender)
#with resolution [tupel] (e.g. per_mun)

Example: ''zensus_population_by_gender_per_mun''<br/><br/>

Remember to put your abbreviations in the [[Category:Glossary|Glossary.]]

= Data Integrity<br/> =

"Data integrity refers to maintaining and assuring the accuracy and consistency of data over its entire life-cycle." ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_integrity Wikipedia]) These two aspects belong to the [[Data quality|data quality]] criteria, the data in the oedb should meet.

<br/>

== General ==

*Each table should have a single auto-incremented integer column as Primary Key with the corresponding table constraint.<br/>
*Grant all privilegs to oeuser (automatically done by the system)<br/><br/>

<br/>

== Geografic Data<br/> ==

*Attribut name is '''geom.'''
*Data type is '''geometry''' (or raster).
*One of the '''Geometric Types''' is defined ([https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-geometric.html])
*The '''CRS''' is defined as EPSG ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/])
**Original data stays with the original CRS!
**Prefered CRS of the oedb are:<br/>

#WGS84 - EPSG: 4326 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/])
#ETRS89 / ETRS-LAEA - EPSG: 3035 ([http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/ http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/])

*Spacial index '''GIST''' has to be set

<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

= Data Referencing<br/> =

There are several useful attributes on a table users have to know in order to work with the contained data efficiently. Therefore, ensuring the quality of these meta data is as important as ensuring the quality of the data itself (see also [[Data quality|here]]).

For these meta data the documentation open-standard Json is used ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON Wiki] and [http://www.json.org/ Json.org]). The documentation is separated in two major categories:

#Comments on schema: Contains metadata that define several aspects for the database schema
#Comments on tables: Contains metadata that define several aspects for the whole table
#Comments on rows: Store important informations on a specific row and the stored data

<br/><br/>

<br/>

=== <s>Comments on Schema</s><br/> ===

<s>Schemata are used in the database in order to structure tables, functions, assign assignment of permissions and much more. For the documentation purpose a string in json format is set as comment on schema. The attribute names begins with an <u>upper case</u> and are given by the following definition for schemata<span style="font-weight: normal">.</span></s><br/>

=== Comments on Tables<br/> ===

Comments on a table are json-dictionary as strings that describe the overall structure of the corresponding table. For every field the corresponding unit (in case of numerical values) and a description that specifies the contained data should be attached. The attribute names begin with an <u>upper case</u> and are given by the following definition of <span style="font-weight: normal"></span><span style="font-weight: normal">Database Tables. The Json meta documentation string is stored as table comment  on the database table.</span>

<br/>

<br/>

====  Meta Documentation of Tables<br/> ====

Original Data (orig) are defined as data from one source which are not further processed (see: '''Database Schema'''). The metadata Documentation for those data sets are set as a comment on the table. Following meta data are proposed:<br/>

=== Meta Documentation of data collections from several sources: ===

'''This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.'''

<br/>

In addition to the meta documentation described above, data tables (blue table in figure) which include data from several sources get a ref_id column. The ref_id links each row with a json documentation string (ref_data_json) in the database table public.reference_to_entries (green table in figure).This table also includes the ref_data_json column which links to all sources of the row to be referenced (blue). The ref_data_json string includes one jabref_entries_id for each source used. The jabref_entries_id is matched by one entries_id belonging to a source stored in the public.entries table (orange table).

The comments on a row aim to enhance the reproducabilty of data that is present in the database by stating the underlying data that was used to compute this  row as well as the applied computational methods.<br/>

During these processes some kinds of uncertainities might occur as well as the decissions (assumtions) that were made to deal with them. Examplatory, some values might be missing amid this row and a linear development during this period was assumed to fix this gap. Each row has to be annotated by a json dictionary that must contain the following fields:

*origin: Link or textual description of the data set this row origins from.<br/>
*method: Method used to calculate this row from above origin (e.g. Link to a python script)<br/>
*assumption: A list of dictionaries. Each dictionary describes an assumption and annotates the affected rows.<br/>
**begin: First column affected by the assumption<br/>
**end: Last column affected by the assumption<br/>
**type: Type of the problem that had to be solved. Each type requires one or more additional keys in this dictionary. Possible types and their required additional keys are:<br/>
***gap: A not all fields could be calculated and/or filled
****solution: Method that was used to generate date to fill this gap (e.g. linear interpolation)

*multiplicity: A field could be filled by several values

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Milano 2016

2016-10-13T13:35:31Z

Berit Müller: /* Registration */

This is the wiki page for the upcoming '''Fifth Workshop of the [http://openmod-initiative.org/ Open Energy Modelling Initiative]''', a grass-roots organization of modellers from various European research institutes and universities. After two workshops in Berlin, one in London and one in Stockholm, the next one will be in '''Milano, Italy hosted by the [http://www.energia.polimi.it/english/index.php? Politecnico di Milano – Department of Energy (Mi Bovisa branch)]'''.The workshop takes place on '''27-28 October, 2016'''. As always, there is no registration fee, so feel free to join!<br/>

This wiki page will be updated frequently with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.<br/>

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!<br/>

<br/>

The bulk of the workshop consists of breakout groups, where specific topics are discussed and worked upon. People can suggest breakout topics in advance, but to keep the workshop fluid and adaptable, topics can also be suggested on the day.

== Practical information ==

This wiki page will be updated frequently; with a program and practical information. All participants are invited to contribute suggestions of different sessions to be included in the program. And in the meantime, feel free to register on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmod-initiative mailing list] where all things regarding energy modelling are discussed.<br/>

== Background ==

Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions towards renewable energy sources. Yet, most energy models are black boxes – even to fellow researchers. This is what we want to change. We are a group of modellers from various universities and research institutes who want to promote open energy modelling. We believe that Open Source models and Open Data will advance knowledge and lead to better energy policies. Our mission is to enable Open Source energy modelling by providing a platform for collaboration as well as tools along the full value chain of energy economics and energy system models. That is why we founded the Open Energy Modelling Initiative (openmod initiative) just a year ago. You are welcome to join us for our next workshop!<br/>
