=== Open Energy Ontology ===

The Openmod Glossary is no longer maintained. A team of energy system modellers and ontology expert is currently building the [https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/ontology Open Energy Ontology (OEO)] on GitHub.

=== What is a glossary? ===

A glossary, also known as a vocabulary, or clavis, is an alphabetical list of terms in a particular domain of knowledge with the definitions for those terms. [wikipedia]

=== What is the main purpose? ===

We often face misunderstandings in discussions about energy system modeling while talking about it from different points of view or different disciplines.This glossary has the aim to develop a common understanding of terms in the field of energy system modelling.

 

 

=== How to handle multiple definitions for one term? ===

Every term can have several '''definition'''s. They are serially numbered. In this way the different understandings of a term become obvious and can be better understood and handled in future. The usage of terms can be discussed openly without dictating a certain definition.

Suggestion openMod 2017: add a disambiguation section in case different wording for the same term is displayed.

Grouping of words can lead to further disambiguation. When a user clicks on a particular term, they would be provided with a list of other asscociated ones (i.e solar power, PV panels).

It's not necessarily that there is universal consensus over one particular term.However, the description displayed at the top is that one that the majority agrees on.

 

=== What are the abbreviation used for? ===

'''Abbreviation'''s are often used in code. Models often define their own abbreviations, which can differ from the ones used in other models. Therefore, different abbreviations may be displayed (example: abbreviations for the term "abbreviation": abb. [Model X], abbr. [Model Y]).

 

=== How to handle different terms for the same thing? ===

Every term that is used by the community can be added to the glossary. Similar terms can be linked in the category '''Synonyms.'''

= 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.

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.

Choosing a license

2019-02-07T13:20:59Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Data */

= Why should you pick a license? =

In other words, why not just put code online without a license? A license clarifies the conditions under which your code can be reused. In the absence of a license, the author still retains propietary copyright, and the conditions under which the code can be used are unclear.<ref name="morin-etal-2012">

</ref>{{rp|1}} A sentence like "feel free to use this code" does not improve the situation, because it does not clarify to what extent any possible user should "feel free" to use the code. Standard licenses provide pre-defined sets of standard conditions, which both providers and users only have to understand once, and can then later easily recognise and categorise.

Also see "Why is an open-source licence useful?" on the Software Sustainability's [http://www.software.ac.uk/resources/guides/adopting-open-source-licence Choosing an open-source licence page] article.

= Selecting a license =

The most common licenses for a given artifact can be determined by its type: code, data, documentation, or other generic digital "creative work" (reports and figures). For any given project, ''these components can and should be licensed independently by type''.

At the most basic level, one must decide on whether to use a copyleft license or a more permissive license. While copyleft assures that code changes by any future contributors must stay public, permissive licenses only require attribution in derived works.

With these two distinctions (type of work, type of license), the following decision matrix can be drawn:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!
! Code
! Data
! Documentation
|-
! style="text-align: left" | Copyleft
| GPL, AGPL

| colspan="4" style="font-size: smaller" | 1. These licenses are compatible with the GPL. This means that projects licensed under GPLv2 or GPLv3 can include code distributed with any of the indicated permissive licenses.<ref>[https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html GNU page on licenses.]</ref>
|}

UPDATE: Removed CC-BY-SA from Copyleft/Data. It is not recommended for data!

The following sections elaborate on both options for each type of work: code, data, documentation, and other.

== Code ==

The following minimal questions can give a guideline on whether one should choose a copyleft or a permissive license for a project. The Wikipedia article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_license Free software licenses] gives an in-depth overview on both types and their properties.

*Are you ok with your code becoming part of a '''closed-source''' commercial software product?
**No: GPL
**Yes: permissive licenses (MIT/BSD/Apache)

*Do you want to '''force '''users to publish their improvements to your software, or to software they develop based on your software, under the same licence?
**No: permissive licenses (MIT/BSD/Apache). This makes the code more broadly usable, but also allows people to take the code without sharing their improvements.
**Yes: GPL. This ensures that any future changes and improvements to the code remain free and open

=== Copyleft licenses ===

Developers who use a GPL license must make the source code available if they share or sell an application built upon it. In this case, the source code must also contain any changes the developers may have made. If GPL code is used but not shared or sold, the code need not be published and any improvements may remain private. This has the important consequence that software written under such a license cannot be included in "non-free" software. The GPL family of licenses comprise:

*GPL: the basic GPL license
*LGPL: Lesser GPL: permits non-free software to link to the LGPL-licensed software, which the GPL does not
*AGPL: Affero GNU GPL: this license closes a loophole in the GPL that permits somebody to operate a web application that uses GPL code, without making the code available to users

More information, geared towards the use of copyleft licenses for code, can be found in the article [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations How to choose a license for your own work] on [https://www.gnu.org/ gnu.org].

=== Permissive licenses ===

The article [https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/bsdl-gpl/article.html Why you should use a BSD style license for your Open Source Project] on [https://www.freebsd.org/ freebsd.org] is recommended. The permissive licenses allow code to be re-used without restrictions, including the possibility of building commercial software whereby the new code is not made public.

The site [http://choosealicense.com/ choosealicense.com] has a great three-column summary of the differences between the major open source licenses. Summarizing their explanations (with links to their license description pages):

*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit MIT] license is a simple permissive license
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0/ Apache License] adds an additional term explicitly granting the patent rights of code contributors to the users of such code
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/bsd-2-clause/ BSD] license, or its newer even shorter successor [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/isc/ ISC] is virtually identical to MIT, but more succinctly worded

One important aspect of all these licenses is the liability clause. This clause prohibits any code user from holding the code producers liable for damages arising from the use of the software code.

== Data ==

Data in this context includes organized databases holding datasets. Special copyright rules may apply to databases, which, under European law, are protected in their own right, irrespective of the status of the data they contain.

The go-to solution for data licenses comes from the [http://opendatacommons.org/ Open Data Commons] that have created the following three licenses, and a nice [http://opendatacommons.org/guide/ 2-minute guide] on the how and why of data licensing:

*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL)]: this license is used by OpenStretMap
*The [http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/ Open Data Attribution License (ODC-BY)] (analogous to CC BY) differs from the ODbL mainly due to a missing copyleft clause. ODC-BY basically requires that the contributors to the original database be listed.
*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/pddl/summary/ Public Domain Dedication and License (PDDL)] is even more permissive and does not require attribution or force derived works to adopt specific license conditions
*Only version{{nbsp}}4.0 [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] licenses should be used for data. This version has improved provisions for datasets and databases. Please refer to the section [https://wiki.openmod-initiative.org/index.php?title=Choosing_a_license&action=edit&mode=wysiwyg&section=6#Other Other] for their properties. Recommended licenses are Public Domain (CC0) and CC-BY 4.0. Please note that CC-BY-SA is not recommended for data. See also the related question [http://opendata.stackexchange.com/questions/5995/are-creative-commons-licenses-suitable-for-data are CC licenses suitable for data?] on StackExchange.

In December 2017, individuals in the openmod community made a written submission on the re-use of public sector information in Europe.<ref name="morrison-etal-2017">{{cite book | last1 = Morrison | first1 = Robbie | last2 = Brown | first2 = Tom | last3 = De Felice | first3 = Matteo | title = Submission on the re-use of public sector information: with an emphasis on energy system datasets — Release 09 | date = 10 December 2017 | location = Berlin, Germany | url = https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/uploads/default/original/1X/d659fda325438884e6e78b372772ed7069633f97.pdf | access-date = 2017-12-13}} Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license. {{open access}}</ref> The openmod forum has a dedicated [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/t/re-use-of-public-sector-information/476 thread].

== Documentation ==

If you would like your model documentation to be used verbatim on Wikipedia, you need to use one of these Creative Commons licenses:

*CC BY, all versions and ports up to and including 4.0
*CC BY-SA, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0

However CC BY-SA 4.0 is '''not''' compatible with Wikipedia. For more information, please see the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia compatibility table]. The Wikimedia Foundation ran a community discussion on an upgrade to a CC BY-SA 4.0 license in November 2016, but the outcome has not been announced. If this exercise is successful then the compatibility problem just noted will disappear.

The [https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License 1.3] (FDLv1.3) is the GNU alternative to a Creative Commons license.

[http://www.gnu.org GNU] also recommends '''not''' using the following licenses for free documentation:

*CC-NC (non-commercial) license of any form
*CC-ND (no derivatives) license of any form

For more information, please see [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeDocumentationLicenses GNU page on nonfree documentation licenses].

 

== Other ==

The Creative Commons family of licenses are probably the most widely known. As of December 2016, the fourth version of these licenses is current. First, the two "free licenses" are presented:

*[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ CC BY] (short for attributions, the "by" refers to authoring): requires that the source be named when sharing the original work or any derived work
*[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA]: similar to the GPL in that it requires any derived works to be published under a "compatible" (easiest is the same) license. It is the license used by Wikipedia for artikles. Version 4.0 is fully compatible with the GPLv3 (software) license. This license is not recommended for Open Data because there is an incompatibility with the much used OSM data (ODbL) and other copyleft data!

Only the two previous CC licenses qualify as "free" licenses, as they do not restrict what a user may do with the licensed work. Two "non-free" license components are presented:

*CC NC: the non-commercial option allows one to prohibit any "commercial" usage of their work. However, it is notoriously hard to define ''exactly what constitutes'' a commercial activity. This issue is explained in detail in the brochure [http://openglam.org/files/2013/01/iRights_CC-NC_Guide_English.pdf Consequences, risks and side-effects of the license module "non-commercial use only"]. In any case, the two licenses which result from this component are [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ CC BY-NC] and, with the share-alike option, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ CC BY-NC-SA].
*CC ND (short for no derivitives): this option is available If you do not want changes or improvements to your work to be shared or redistributed. Its main use is by musicians who want to share their music with listeners, but do not wish to allow remixes or cover versions. The resulting licenses are [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ CC BY-ND] or, by combining it with the NC option, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ CC BY-NC-ND].

For inspiration, the Creative Commons homepage lists [https://creativecommons.org/examples a host of example projects licensed under all different licenses] to give an impression of the contexts that triggered various individuals to select a particular license.

= FAQ =

== Why is it a bad idea to use Creative Commons licenses for code? ==

The long answer is given in [http://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/1717/why-is-cc-by-sa-discouraged-for-code Why is CC BY-SA discouraged for code?] on StackExchange.

The short answer is that the CC licenses are written for creative works (music, film, texts), not software code. Therefore, a CC license leaves many important details (what consitutes a "derived" work, is linking allowed, what about patents?) unspecified. The conclusion: don not use CC licenses for code.

== At what point should I choose or change a license? ==

You should determine and add a licence '''prior''' to the '''first''' release of your project. Ideally that would include “small” releases within your research institute or organization.

Can I change the licence? The important thing is that, when you receive a copy of the source code with a particular license, you have been granted that license. So as long as the license does not have a revocation clause, it is permanent. See the related question on StackOverflow: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3498237/what-happens-when-an-open-source-project-changes-its-license What happens when an open source project changes its license?]

A license can be changed. You can swap the licence for the next version or release if '''all''' contributors (meaning copyright holders) agree or have previously agreed to the possibility of doing so, usually via a contributor agreement. Search for "contributor (license/assignment) agreement" online, for pointers on how to enable this up front. See also the [http://opensource.org/faq#contributor-agreements FAQ on contributor agreements on opensource.org], [http://wiki.civiccommons.org/Contributor_Agreements Civic Commons article on contributor agreements].

== What does sublicensing mean? ==

Sublicensing allows somebody to relicense all or part of the licensed software, for example, to use BSD-licensed code in a closed-source commercial application.

"The basic idea ... is that if this is granted, a licensee can become a licensor of some of the rights of the grant they received regardless of any other claim they may have to copyright control over what they distribute." Source: [https://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/189633/what-sublicense-actually-means https://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/189633/what-sublicense-actually-means]

More information, geared towards the use of copyleft licenses for code, can be found in the article [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations How to choose a license for your own work] on [https://www.gnu.org/ gnu.org].

=== Permissive licenses ===

The article [https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/bsdl-gpl/article.html Why you should use a BSD style license for your Open Source Project] on [https://www.freebsd.org/ freebsd.org] is recommended. The permissive licenses allow code to be re-used without restrictions, including the possibility of building commercial software whereby the new code is not made public.

The site [http://choosealicense.com/ choosealicense.com] has a great three-column summary of the differences between the major open source licenses. Summarizing their explanations (with links to their license description pages):

*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit MIT] license is a simple permissive license
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0/ Apache License] adds an additional term explicitly granting the patent rights of code contributors to the users of such code
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/bsd-2-clause/ BSD] license, or its newer even shorter successor [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/isc/ ISC] is virtually identical to MIT, but more succinctly worded

One important aspect of all these licenses is the liability clause. This clause prohibits any code user from holding the code producers liable for damages arising from the use of the software code.

== Data ==

Data in this context includes organized databases holding datasets. Special copyright rules may apply to databases, which, under European law, are protected in their own right, irrespective of the status of the data they contain.

The go-to solution for data licenses comes from the [http://opendatacommons.org/ Open Data Commons] that have created the following three licenses, and a nice [http://opendatacommons.org/guide/ 2-minute guide] on the how and why of data licensing:

*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL)]: this license is used by OpenStretMap
*The [http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/ Open Data Attribution License (ODC-BY)] (analogous to CC BY) differs from the ODbL mainly due to a missing copyleft clause. ODC-BY basically requires that the contributors to the original database be listed.
*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/pddl/summary/ Public Domain Dedication and License (PDDL)] is even more permissive and does not require attribution or force derived works to adopt specific license conditions
*Only version{{nbsp}}4.0 [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] licenses should be used for data. This version has improved provisions for datasets and databases. Please refer to the section [[#Other|Other]] for their properties. See also the related question [http://opendata.stackexchange.com/questions/5995/are-creative-commons-licenses-suitable-for-data are CC licenses suitable for data?] on StackExchange.

== Documentation ==

If you would like your model documentation to be used verbatim on Wikipedia, you need to use one of these Creative Commons licenses:

*CC BY, all versions and ports up to and including 4.0
*CC BY-SA, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0

However CC BY-SA 4.0 is '''not''' compatible with Wikipedia. For more information, please see the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia compatibility table]. The Wikimedia Foundation ran a community discussion on an upgrade to a CC BY-SA 4.0 license in November 2016, but the outcome has not been announced. If this exercise is successful then the compatibility problem just noted will disappear.

The [https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License 1.3] (FDLv1.3) is the GNU alternative to a Creative Commons license.

[http://www.gnu.org GNU] also recommends '''not''' using the following licenses for free documentation:

*CC-NC (non-commercial) license of any form
*CC-ND (no derivatives) license of any form

For more information, please see [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeDocumentationLicenses GNU page on nonfree documentation licenses].

 

== Other ==

The Creative Commons family of licenses are probably the most widely known. As of December 2016, the fourth version of these licenses is current. First, the two "free licenses" are presented:

*[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ CC BY] (short for attributions, the "by" refers to authoring): requires that the source be named when sharing the original work or any derived work
*[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA]: similar to the GPL in that it requires any derived works to be published under a "compatible" (easiest is the same) license. It is the license used by Wikipedia for artikles. Version 4.0 is fully compatible with the GPLv3 (software) license. This license is not recommended for Open Data because there is an incompatibility with the much used OSM data (ODbL) and other copyleft data!

Only the two previous CC licenses qualify as "free" licenses, as they do not restrict what a user may do with the licensed work. Two "non-free" license components are presented:

*CC NC: the non-commercial option allows one to prohibit any "commercial" usage of their work. However, it is notoriously hard to define ''exactly what constitutes'' a commercial activity. This issue is explained in detail in the brochure [http://openglam.org/files/2013/01/iRights_CC-NC_Guide_English.pdf Consequences, risks and side-effects of the license module "non-commercial use only"]. In any case, the two licenses which result from this component are [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ CC BY-NC] and, with the share-alike option, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ CC BY-NC-SA].
*CC ND (short for no derivitives): this option is available If you do not want changes or improvements to your work to be shared or redistributed. Its main use is by musicians who want to share their music with listeners, but do not wish to allow remixes or cover versions. The resulting licenses are [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ CC BY-ND] or, by combining it with the NC option, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ CC BY-NC-ND].

For inspiration, the Creative Commons homepage lists [https://creativecommons.org/examples a host of example projects licensed under all different licenses] to give an impression of the contexts that triggered various individuals to select a particular license.

= FAQ =

== Why is it a bad idea to use Creative Commons licenses for code? ==

The long answer is given in [http://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/1717/why-is-cc-by-sa-discouraged-for-code Why is CC BY-SA discouraged for code?] on StackExchange.

The short answer is that the CC licenses are written for creative works (music, film, texts), not software code. Therefore, a CC license leaves many important details (what consitutes a "derived" work, is linking allowed, what about patents?) unspecified. The conclusion: don not use CC licenses for code.

== At what point should I choose or change a license? ==

You should determine and add a licence '''prior''' to the '''first''' release of your project. Ideally that would include “small” releases within your research institute or organization.

Can I change the licence? The important thing is that, when you receive a copy of the source code with a particular license, you have been granted that license. So as long as the license does not have a revocation clause, it is permanent. See the related question on StackOverflow: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3498237/what-happens-when-an-open-source-project-changes-its-license What happens when an open source project changes its license?]

A license can be changed. You can swap the licence for the next version or release if '''all''' contributors (meaning copyright holders) agree or have previously agreed to the possibility of doing so, usually via a contributor agreement. Search for "contributor (license/assignment) agreement" online, for pointers on how to enable this up front. See also the [http://opensource.org/faq#contributor-agreements FAQ on contributor agreements on opensource.org], [http://wiki.civiccommons.org/Contributor_Agreements Civic Commons article on contributor agreements].

== What does sublicensing mean? ==

Sublicensing allows somebody to relicense all or part of the licensed software, for example, to use BSD-licensed code in a closed-source commercial application.

"The basic idea ... is that if this is granted, a licensee can become a licensor of some of the rights of the grant they received regardless of any other claim they may have to copyright control over what they distribute."

Choosing a license

2019-02-05T10:27:58Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Selecting a license */

= Why should you pick a license? =

In other words, why not just put code online without a license? A license clarifies the conditions under which your code can be reused. In the absence of a license, the author still retains propietary copyright, and the conditions under which the code can be used are unclear.<ref name="morin-etal-2012">

</ref>{{rp|1}} A sentence like "feel free to use this code" does not improve the situation, because it does not clarify to what extent any possible user should "feel free" to use the code. Standard licenses provide pre-defined sets of standard conditions, which both providers and users only have to understand once, and can then later easily recognise and categorise.

Also see "Why is an open-source licence useful?" on the Software Sustainability's [http://www.software.ac.uk/resources/guides/adopting-open-source-licence Choosing an open-source licence page] article.

= Selecting a license =

The most common licenses for a given artifact can be determined by its type: code, data, documentation, or other generic digital "creative work" (reports and figures). For any given project, ''these components can and should be licensed independently by type''.

At the most basic level, one must decide on whether to use a copyleft license or a more permissive license. While copyleft assures that code changes by any future contributors must stay public, permissive licenses only require attribution in derived works.

With these two distinctions (type of work, type of license), the following decision matrix can be drawn:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!
! Code
! Data
! Documentation
|-
! style="text-align: left" | Copyleft
| GPL, AGPL
| ODbL
| {{nowrap|CC BY SA}}
|-
! style="text-align: left" | Permissive {{pad|1em}}
| MIT, BSD, Apache, ISC{{nnbsp}}1{{pad|1em}}
| ODC BY / CC BY
| {{nowrap|CC BY}}
|-
! style="text-align: left" | Public domain {{pad|1em}}
| CC0{{pad|1em}}
| PPDL / CC0
| CC0
|-
| colspan="4" style="font-size: smaller" | 1. These licenses are compatible with the GPL. This means that projects licensed under GPLv2 or GPLv3 can include code distributed with any of the indicated permissive licenses.<ref>[https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html GNU page on licenses.]</ref>
|}

UPDATE: Removed CC-BY-SA from Copyleft/Data. It is not recommended for data!

The following sections elaborate on both options for each type of work: code, data, documentation, and other.

== Code ==

The following minimal questions can give a guideline on whether one should choose a copyleft or a permissive license for a project. The Wikipedia article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_license Free software licenses] gives an in-depth overview on both types and their properties.

*Are you ok with your code becoming part of a '''closed-source''' commercial software product?
**No: GPL
**Yes: permissive licenses (MIT/BSD/Apache)

*Do you want to '''force '''users to publish their improvements to your software, or to software they develop based on your software, under the same licence?
**No: permissive licenses (MIT/BSD/Apache). This makes the code more broadly usable, but also allows people to take the code without sharing their improvements.
**Yes: GPL. This ensures that any future changes and improvements to the code remain free and open

=== Copyleft licenses ===

Developers who use a GPL license must make the source code available if they share or sell an application built upon it. In this case, the source code must also contain any changes the developers may have made. If GPL code is used but not shared or sold, the code need not be published and any improvements may remain private. This has the important consequence that software written under such a license cannot be included in "non-free" software. The GPL family of licenses comprise:

*GPL: the basic GPL license
*LGPL: Lesser GPL: permits non-free software to link to the LGPL-licensed software, which the GPL does not
*AGPL: Affero GNU GPL: this license closes a loophole in the GPL that permits somebody to operate a web application that uses GPL code, without making the code available to users

More information, geared towards the use of copyleft licenses for code, can be found in the article [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations How to choose a license for your own work] on [https://www.gnu.org/ gnu.org].

=== Permissive licenses ===

The article [https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/bsdl-gpl/article.html Why you should use a BSD style license for your Open Source Project] on [https://www.freebsd.org/ freebsd.org] is recommended. The permissive licenses allow code to be re-used without restrictions, including the possibility of building commercial software whereby the new code is not made public.

The site [http://choosealicense.com/ choosealicense.com] has a great three-column summary of the differences between the major open source licenses. Summarizing their explanations (with links to their license description pages):

*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit MIT] license is a simple permissive license
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0/ Apache License] adds an additional term explicitly granting the patent rights of code contributors to the users of such code
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/bsd-2-clause/ BSD] license, or its newer even shorter successor [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/isc/ ISC] is virtually identical to MIT, but more succinctly worded

One important aspect of all these licenses is the liability clause. This clause prohibits any code user from holding the code producers liable for damages arising from the use of the software code.

== Data ==

Data in this context includes organized databases holding datasets. Special copyright rules may apply to databases, which, under European law, are protected in their own right, irrespective of the status of the data they contain.

The go-to solution for data licenses comes from the [http://opendatacommons.org/ Open Data Commons] that have created the following three licenses, and a nice [http://opendatacommons.org/guide/ 2-minute guide] on the how and why of data licensing:

*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL)]: this license is used by OpenStretMap

*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/pddl/summary/ Public Domain Dedication and License (PDDL)] is even more permissive and does not require attribution or force derived works to adopt specific license conditions

Choosing a license

2019-02-05T10:27:01Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Selecting a license */

= Why should you pick a license? =

In other words, why not just put code online without a license? A license clarifies the conditions under which your code can be reused. In the absence of a license, the author still retains propietary copyright, and the conditions under which the code can be used are unclear.<ref name="morin-etal-2012">

</ref>{{rp|1}} A sentence like "feel free to use this code" does not improve the situation, because it does not clarify to what extent any possible user should "feel free" to use the code. Standard licenses provide pre-defined sets of standard conditions, which both providers and users only have to understand once, and can then later easily recognise and categorise.

Also see "Why is an open-source licence useful?" on the Software Sustainability's [http://www.software.ac.uk/resources/guides/adopting-open-source-licence Choosing an open-source licence page] article.

= Selecting a license =

The most common licenses for a given artifact can be determined by its type: code, data, documentation, or other generic digital "creative work" (reports and figures). For any given project, ''these components can and should be licensed independently by type''.

At the most basic level, one must decide on whether to use a copyleft license or a more permissive license. While copyleft assures that code changes by any future contributors must stay public, permissive licenses only require attribution in derived works.

With these two distinctions (type of work, type of license), the following decision matrix can be drawn:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!
! Code
! Data
! Documentation
|-
! style="text-align: left" | Copyleft
| GPL, AGPL
| ODbL,
| {{nowrap|CC BY SA}}
|-
! style="text-align: left" | Permissive {{pad|1em}}
| MIT, BSD, Apache, ISC{{nnbsp}}1{{pad|1em}}
| ODC BY / CC BY

|-
! style="text-align: left" | Public domain {{pad|1em}}
| CC0{{pad|1em}}
| PPDL / CC0
| CC0
|-
| colspan="4" style="font-size: smaller" | 1. These licenses are compatible with the GPL. This means that projects licensed under GPLv2 or GPLv3 can include code distributed with any of the indicated permissive licenses.<ref>[https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html GNU page on licenses.]</ref>
|}

The following sections elaborate on both options for each type of work: code, data, documentation, and other.

== Code ==

The following minimal questions can give a guideline on whether one should choose a copyleft or a permissive license for a project. The Wikipedia article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_license Free software licenses] gives an in-depth overview on both types and their properties.

*Are you ok with your code becoming part of a '''closed-source''' commercial software product?
**No: GPL
**Yes: permissive licenses (MIT/BSD/Apache)

*Do you want to '''force '''users to publish their improvements to your software, or to software they develop based on your software, under the same licence?
**No: permissive licenses (MIT/BSD/Apache). This makes the code more broadly usable, but also allows people to take the code without sharing their improvements.
**Yes: GPL. This ensures that any future changes and improvements to the code remain free and open

=== Copyleft licenses ===

Developers who use a GPL license must make the source code available if they share or sell an application built upon it. In this case, the source code must also contain any changes the developers may have made. If GPL code is used but not shared or sold, the code need not be published and any improvements may remain private. This has the important consequence that software written under such a license cannot be included in "non-free" software. The GPL family of licenses comprise:

*GPL: the basic GPL license
*LGPL: Lesser GPL: permits non-free software to link to the LGPL-licensed software, which the GPL does not
*AGPL: Affero GNU GPL: this license closes a loophole in the GPL that permits somebody to operate a web application that uses GPL code, without making the code available to users

More information, geared towards the use of copyleft licenses for code, can be found in the article [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations How to choose a license for your own work] on [https://www.gnu.org/ gnu.org].

=== Permissive licenses ===

The article [https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/bsdl-gpl/article.html Why you should use a BSD style license for your Open Source Project] on [https://www.freebsd.org/ freebsd.org] is recommended. The permissive licenses allow code to be re-used without restrictions, including the possibility of building commercial software whereby the new code is not made public.

The site [http://choosealicense.com/ choosealicense.com] has a great three-column summary of the differences between the major open source licenses. Summarizing their explanations (with links to their license description pages):

*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit MIT] license is a simple permissive license
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0/ Apache License] adds an additional term explicitly granting the patent rights of code contributors to the users of such code
*The [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/bsd-2-clause/ BSD] license, or its newer even shorter successor [http://choosealicense.com/licenses/isc/ ISC] is virtually identical to MIT, but more succinctly worded

One important aspect of all these licenses is the liability clause. This clause prohibits any code user from holding the code producers liable for damages arising from the use of the software code.

== Data ==

Data in this context includes organized databases holding datasets. Special copyright rules may apply to databases, which, under European law, are protected in their own right, irrespective of the status of the data they contain.

The go-to solution for data licenses comes from the [http://opendatacommons.org/ Open Data Commons] that have created the following three licenses, and a nice [http://opendatacommons.org/guide/ 2-minute guide] on the how and why of data licensing:

*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL)]: this license is used by OpenStretMap
*The [http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/ Open Data Attribution License (ODC-BY)] (analogous to CC BY) differs from the ODbL mainly due to a missing copyleft clause. ODC-BY basically requires that the contributors to the original database be listed.
*[http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/pddl/summary/ Public Domain Dedication and License (PDDL)] is even more permissive and does not require attribution or force derived works to adopt specific license conditions
*Only version{{nbsp}}4.0 [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] licenses should be used for data. This version has improved provisions for datasets and databases. Please refer to the section [[#Other|Other]] for their properties. See also the related question [http://opendata.stackexchange.com/questions/5995/are-creative-commons-licenses-suitable-for-data are CC licenses suitable for data?] on StackExchange.

In December 2017, individuals in the openmod community made a written submission on the re-use of public sector information in Europe.<ref name="morrison-etal-2017">{{cite book | last1 = Morrison | first1 = Robbie | last2 = Brown | first2 = Tom | last3 = De Felice | first3 = Matteo | title = Submission on the re-use of public sector information: with an emphasis on energy system datasets — Release 09 | date = 10 December 2017 | location = Berlin, Germany | url = https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/uploads/default/original/1X/d659fda325438884e6e78b372772ed7069633f97.pdf | access-date = 2017-12-13}} Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license. {{open access}}</ref> The openmod forum has a dedicated [https://forum.openmod-initiative.org/t/re-use-of-public-sector-information/476 thread].

== Documentation ==

If you would like your model documentation to be used verbatim on Wikipedia, you need to use one of these Creative Commons licenses:

*CC BY, all versions and ports up to and including 4.0
*CC BY-SA, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0

However CC BY-SA 4.0 is '''not''' compatible with Wikipedia. For more information, please see the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia compatibility table]. The Wikimedia Foundation ran a community discussion on an upgrade to a CC BY-SA 4.0 license in November 2016, but the outcome has not been announced. If this exercise is successful then the compatibility problem just noted will disappear.

The [https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License 1.3] (FDLv1.3) is the GNU alternative to a Creative Commons license.

[http://www.gnu.org GNU] also recommends '''not''' using the following licenses for free documentation:

*CC-NC (non-commercial) license of any form
*CC-ND (no derivatives) license of any form

For more information, please see [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeDocumentationLicenses GNU page on nonfree documentation licenses].

 

== Other ==

The Creative Commons family of licenses are probably the most widely known. As of December 2016, the fourth version of these licenses is current. First, the two "free licenses" are presented:

*[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ CC BY] (short for attributions, the "by" refers to authoring): requires that the source be named when sharing the original work or any derived work
*[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA]: similar to the GPL in that it requires any derived works to be published under a "compatible" (easiest is the same) license. It is the license used by Wikipedia for artikles. Version 4.0 is fully compatible with the GPLv3 (software) license. This license is not recommended for Open Data!

Only the two previous CC licenses qualify as "free" licenses, as they do not restrict what a user may do with the licensed work. Two "non-free" license components are presented:

*CC NC: the non-commercial option allows one to prohibit any "commercial" usage of their work. However, it is notoriously hard to define ''exactly what constitutes'' a commercial activity. This issue is explained in detail in the brochure [http://openglam.org/files/2013/01/iRights_CC-NC_Guide_English.pdf Consequences, risks and side-effects of the license module "non-commercial use only"]. In any case, the two licenses which result from this component are [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ CC BY-NC] and, with the share-alike option, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ CC BY-NC-SA].
*CC ND (short for no derivitives): this option is available If you do not want changes or improvements to your work to be shared or redistributed. Its main use is by musicians who want to share their music with listeners, but do not wish to allow remixes or cover versions. The resulting licenses are [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ CC BY-ND] or, by combining it with the NC option, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ CC BY-NC-ND].

For inspiration, the Creative Commons homepage lists [https://creativecommons.org/examples a host of example projects licensed under all different licenses] to give an impression of the contexts that triggered various individuals to select a particular license.

= FAQ =

== Why is it a bad idea to use Creative Commons licenses for code? ==

The long answer is given in [http://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/1717/why-is-cc-by-sa-discouraged-for-code Why is CC BY-SA discouraged for code?] on StackExchange.

The short answer is that the CC licenses are written for creative works (music, film, texts), not software code. Therefore, a CC license leaves many important details (what consitutes a "derived" work, is linking allowed, what about patents?) unspecified. The conclusion: don not use CC licenses for code.

== At what point should I choose or change a license? ==

You should determine and add a licence '''prior''' to the '''first''' release of your project. Ideally that would include “small” releases within your research institute or organization.

Can I change the licence? The important thing is that, when you receive a copy of the source code with a particular license, you have been granted that license. So as long as the license does not have a revocation clause, it is permanent. See the related question on StackOverflow: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3498237/what-happens-when-an-open-source-project-changes-its-license What happens when an open source project changes its license?]

A license can be changed. You can swap the licence for the next version or release if '''all''' contributors (meaning copyright holders) agree or have previously agreed to the possibility of doing so, usually via a contributor agreement. Search for "contributor (license/assignment) agreement" online, for pointers on how to enable this up front. See also the [http://opensource.org/faq#contributor-agreements FAQ on contributor agreements on opensource.org], [http://wiki.civiccommons.org/Contributor_Agreements Civic Commons article on contributor agreements].

== What does sublicensing mean? ==

Sublicensing allows somebody to relicense all or part of the licensed software, for example, to use BSD-licensed code in a closed-source commercial application.

"The basic idea ... is that if this is granted, a licensee can become a licensor of some of the rights of the grant they received regardless of any other claim they may have to copyright control over what they distribute."

For inspiration, the Creative Commons homepage lists [https://creativecommons.org/examples a host of example projects licensed under all different licenses] to give an impression of the contexts that triggered various individuals to select a particular license.

= FAQ =

== Why is it a bad idea to use Creative Commons licenses for code? ==

The long answer is given in [http://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/1717/why-is-cc-by-sa-discouraged-for-code Why is CC BY-SA discouraged for code?] on StackExchange.

The short answer is that the CC licenses are written for creative works (music, film, texts), not software code. Therefore, a CC license leaves many important details (what consitutes a "derived" work, is linking allowed, what about patents?) unspecified. The conclusion: don not use CC licenses for code.

== At what point should I choose or change a license? ==

You should determine and add a licence '''prior''' to the '''first''' release of your project. Ideally that would include “small” releases within your research institute or organization.

Can I change the licence? The important thing is that, when you receive a copy of the source code with a particular license, you have been granted that license. So as long as the license does not have a revocation clause, it is permanent. See the related question on StackOverflow: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3498237/what-happens-when-an-open-source-project-changes-its-license What happens when an open source project changes its license?]

A license can be changed. You can swap the licence for the next version or release if '''all''' contributors (meaning copyright holders) agree or have previously agreed to the possibility of doing so, usually via a contributor agreement. Search for "contributor (license/assignment) agreement" online, for pointers on how to enable this up front. See also the [http://opensource.org/faq#contributor-agreements FAQ on contributor agreements on opensource.org], [http://wiki.civiccommons.org/Contributor_Agreements Civic Commons article on contributor agreements].

== What does sublicensing mean? ==

Sublicensing allows somebody to relicense all or part of the licensed software, for example, to use BSD-licensed code in a closed-source commercial application.

"The basic idea ... is that if this is granted, a licensee can become a licensor of some of the rights of the grant they received regardless of any other claim they may have to copyright control over what they distribute."

*The Software Sustainability Institute (UK) provides [http://www.software.ac.uk/resources/guides/adopting-open-source-licence information and answers to frequently asked questions]. The questions dealt with include:
**“Why is an open-source licence useful?”
**“How can I tell the difference between open-source licences?”
**“What happens if I am using someone else's code in my software?”
**“What do I need to do before applying my choice of licence?”

*This Nature commentary article dispels common excuses for not publishing scientific code and argues that code should be published more frequently:

Ludwig Schneider: /* Metadata in oedb */

{{GlossaryTermTemp
|SubtermOf=Data
|Definition=1. Metadata is data (information) that provides information about other data.
2. Three distinct types of metadata exist: structural metadata, descriptive metadata, and administrative metadata.
3. Metadata means "data about data". Although the "meta" prefix (from the Greek preposition and prefix μετά-) means "after" or "beyond", it is used to mean "about" in epistemology. Metadata is defined as the data providing information about one or more aspects of the data; it is used to summarize basic information about data which can make tracking and working with specific data easier. Some examples include: Means of creation of the data, Purpose of the data, Time and date of creation, Creator or author of the data, Location on a computer network where the data was created, Standards used, File size.
4. "metadata describes a resource for purposes such as discovery and identification. It can include elements such as title, abstract, author, and keywords."
5. "Metadata summarizes basic information about data, which can make finding and working with particular instances of data easier. For example, author, date created and date modified and file size are examples of very basic document metadata. Having the abilty to filter through that metadata makes it much easier for someone to locate a specific document."

== Metadata in oedb ==

In the [[OpenEnergy Database|oedb]], the metadata is stored in a comment as a JSON string.

[https://github.com/openego/data_processing/blob/dev/documentation/metadata_on_table_example.sql The SQL example is on GitHub.]

[https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/organisation/issues/10 There is a current development of a new OEP metadata version.]

 

Different concepts for metadata were compared, harmonized and simplyfied:

Talk:Database schema

<div class="NiceDiscussions START">

==Additional oedp schema for ==
We (ZNES Flensburg) talked today with the oedp developers about the oedp schemas. The current structure with the existing categories are valuable and cover a lot. However, in modern energy systems it is often not easy to distinguish clearly between e.g. demand and production (Power2Heat, Pro-Sumer etc.). Therefore, we would like to propose a addtional versioned schema that is suitable. Our proposal is something like "transCategory". What do you think about this? Simon H.[[Special:Contributions/192.168.42.1|192.168.42.1]] 14 July 2017, 13:53 (CEST)
:Hello Simon, of course some data sets cannot be allocated without doubts and you list some good examples! The OEP has the ability to also put tags on a table: So PtH can be in demand or generation (depends on your perspective) and can be tagged with the additional schema (generation or demand). I don't really understand the proposal "trans_category". What would you write in the definition? [[User:Ludwig Schneider|Ludwig Schneider]] 23 April 2018, 16:41 (CEST)

Open journals

2017-11-23T13:52:00Z

Ludwig Schneider:

This page contains a list of full open access journals in which energy research and energy modeling software can be published. The information here (including publication fees and article lengths) refers to full-length articles based on original research. 

Most journals require a publication fee (also known as an article processing charge or APC) to be paid by the submitter on acceptance. The fee can be as high as €1800, but some journals have a waiver policy for non-funded authors. To apply for a partial or full exemption, you will need to submit the institutional affiliations of the authors, the details of your project, and any sources of funding you receive. You also need to apply prior to or at the time of submission.

Some conventional journals allow authors to buy out their restricted access. These are known as hybrid open access journals and their APCs tends to be higher, in line with their better impact factors.

Only one journal, the [[#Journal_of_Open_Research_Software|Journal of Open Research Software]], is dedicated to software and it covers all areas of science. Only two support energy economics. The remainder are either oriented towards engineering topics or broad in scope.

The [https://doaj.org/ Directory of Open Access Journals] (DOAJ) maintains a directory of open access journals.

''Note'': Feel free to shift journals between the established and less known categories or remove them altogether, particularly if you know something of their reputation.

Ludwig Schneider:

This page contains a list of full open access journals in which energy research and energy modeling software can be published. The information here (including publication fees and article lengths) refers to full-length articles based on original research. 

Most journals require a publication fee (also known as an article processing charge or APC) to be paid by the submitter on acceptance. The fee can be as high as €1800, but some journals have a waiver policy for non-funded authors. To apply for a partial or full exemption, you will need to submit the institutional affiliations of the authors, the details of your project, and any sources of funding you receive. You also need to apply prior to or at the time of submission.

Some conventional journals allow authors to buy out their restricted access. These are known as hybrid open access journals and their APCs tends to be higher, in line with their better impact factors.

Only one journal, the [[#Journal_of_Open_Research_Software|Journal of Open Research Software]], is dedicated to software and it covers all areas of science. Only two support energy economics. The remainder are either oriented towards engineering topics or broad in scope.

The [https://doaj.org/ Directory of Open Access Journals] (DOAJ) maintains a directory of open access journals.

''Note'': Feel free to shift journals between the established and less known categories or remove them altogether, particularly if you know something of their reputation.

Ludwig Schneider: /* Established journals */

This page contains a list of full open access journals in which energy research and energy modeling software can be published. The information here (including publication fees and article lengths) refers to full-length articles based on original research. 

Most journals require a publication fee (also known as an article processing charge or APC) to be paid by the submitter on acceptance. The fee can be as high as €1800, but some journals have a waiver policy for non-funded authors. To apply for a partial or full exemption, you will need to submit the institutional affiliations of the authors, the details of your project, and any sources of funding you receive. You also need to apply prior to or at the time of submission.

Some conventional journals allow authors to buy out their restricted access. These are known as hybrid open access journals and their APCs tends to be higher, in line with their better impact factors.

Only one journal, the [[#Journal_of_Open_Research_Software|Journal of Open Research Software]], is dedicated to software and it covers all areas of science. Only two support energy economics. The remainder are either oriented towards engineering topics or broad in scope.

The [https://doaj.org/ Directory of Open Access Journals] (DOAJ) maintains a directory of open access journals.

''Note'': Feel free to shift journals between the established and less known categories or remove them altogether, particularly if you know something of their reputation.

Ludwig Schneider: /* Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems */

This page contains a list of full open access journals in which energy research and energy modeling software can be published. The information here (including publication fees and article lengths) refers to full-length articles based on original research. 

Most journals require a publication fee (also known as an article processing charge or APC) to be paid by the submitter on acceptance. The fee can be as high as €1800, but some journals have a waiver policy for non-funded authors. To apply for a partial or full exemption, you will need to submit the institutional affiliations of the authors, the details of your project, and any sources of funding you receive. You also need to apply prior to or at the time of submission.

Some conventional journals allow authors to buy out their restricted access. These are known as hybrid open access journals and their APCs tends to be higher, in line with their better impact factors.

Only one journal, the [[#Journal_of_Open_Research_Software|Journal of Open Research Software]], is dedicated to software and it covers all areas of science. Only two support energy economics. The remainder are either oriented towards engineering topics or broad in scope.

The [https://doaj.org/ Directory of Open Access Journals] (DOAJ) maintains a directory of open access journals.

''Note'': Feel free to shift journals between the established and less known categories or remove them altogether, particularly if you know something of their reputation.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Munich 2017

2017-10-09T10:59:56Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Advanced topics */

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!

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 bookings, try [https://www.airbnb.com/ airbnb], [https://booking.com booking.com] or [https://hrs.de HRS].

= Registration =

Registration is now closed. There are only 65 places for this workshop, so any additional registrations will be on the waiting list.

= Breakout groups =

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, campaigning for open data, etc. If you are interested to discuss a special subject you can propose [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m3hBT4o778cMGms-YWqElWKj4a2mj5LqYPVccrwg4sk/edit#gid=0 breakout groups] on the google sheet. Please communicate your ideas for new breakout groups and 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.

= Short presentations =

If you want to give a short presentation during the workshop (4 mins + 2 mins questions), e.g. a model introduction, please mention that when you register.

= 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)

If you want to give a short presentation during the workshop (4 mins + 2 mins questions), e.g. a model introduction, please mention that when you register.

= 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

2017-10-09T10:57:02Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Advanced topics */

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!

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 bookings, try [https://www.airbnb.com/ airbnb], [https://booking.com booking.com] or [https://hrs.de HRS].

= Registration =

Registration is now closed. There are only 65 places for this workshop, so any additional registrations will be on the waiting list.

= Breakout groups =

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, campaigning for open data, etc. If you are interested to discuss a special subject you can propose [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m3hBT4o778cMGms-YWqElWKj4a2mj5LqYPVccrwg4sk/edit#gid=0 breakout groups] on the google sheet. Please communicate your ideas for new breakout groups and 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.

= Short presentations =

If you want to give a short presentation during the workshop (4 mins + 2 mins questions), e.g. a model introduction, please mention that when you register.

= 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

2017-10-09T09:52:52Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Advanced topics */

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!

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 bookings, try [https://www.airbnb.com/ airbnb], [https://booking.com booking.com] or [https://hrs.de HRS].

= Registration =

Registration is now closed. There are only 65 places for this workshop, so any additional registrations will be on the waiting list.

= Participants =

Everyone who has registered will be visible on the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_09N9IAZtMaNbtddebiU76eNcCQI6zBiYBhwZqlhd_8/edit#gid=0 participant list] (without email addresses).

= Programme =

== Day 1: Optional Tutorials (Wednesday 11 October 2017) ==

On the day before the main official workshop, optional tutorials will be organised for students and researchers who are new to scientific computing and energy system modelling.

The tutorials will be split into two streams: "General Scientific Computing" and "Advanced Topics". Each stream will take place in separate rooms at ZEI, each of which has a maximum of 25 places available. 

 

=== General scientific computing (entry level) ===

| style="width: 245px" | Hands-on modeling session with oemof 
| style="width: 506px" |
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. 

#Install oemof (1.1) OR Python 3 and oemof (1.2) 
##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] 
##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]

Eventually, we might use git and/or jupyter. Here is git for Linux: [https://git-scm.com/download/linux https://git-scm.com/download/linux]and for Windows: [https://git-scm.com/download/win https://git-scm.com/download/win] and jupyter for both: [http://jupyter.org/install.html http://jupyter.org/install.html]

|Definition=1. Metadata is data (information) that provides information about other data.
2. Three distinct types of metadata exist: structural metadata, descriptive metadata, and administrative metadata.
3. Metadata means "data about data". Although the "meta" prefix (from the Greek preposition and prefix μετά-) means "after" or "beyond", it is used to mean "about" in epistemology. Metadata is defined as the data providing information about one or more aspects of the data; it is used to summarize basic information about data which can make tracking and working with specific data easier.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-21T23:21:17Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Tech talks */

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! 

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-21T23:11:17Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Tech talks */

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! 

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-20T10:15:19Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Short Presentations */

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! 

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-19T07:18:28Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Advanced Topics */

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! 

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.

Open Energy Modelling Workshop - Frankfurt 2017

2017-04-17T10:43:58Z

Ludwig Schneider: /* Advanced Topics */

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! 

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.

|Definition=1. A database schema of a database system is its structure described in a formal language supported by the database management system.
2. The formal definition of a database schema is a set of formulas (sentences) called integrity constraints imposed on a database. These integrity constraints ensure compatibility between parts of the schema. All constraints are expressible in the same language.
