OpenEnergy Data Base (oedb)
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 here.
Open Data
- Only use data with suitable licences
- Do not upload restricted data into the database
More Information can be found on Open Licenses. Additional, the Project Open Power System Data is dealing this topic on OPSD - Legal.
Data Documentation
- All data included in the databases has be documented! On this wiki page you learn how to do so
- All abreviations have to be documentated in the of the openmod wiki
Naming of Data
- The nomenclature should follow a logical structure
- There are different levels of naming
Database Name
- The name of the database is
Database Schema
- There are schemas to structure tables
- The following schemas are already in existence:
- demand
- economic
- emission
- environmental
- grid
- openstreetmap
- political_boundary
- scenario
- social
- supply
- weather
- Special schemas:
- model_draft
- model data
- has no version control
Further schema categories or changes can be discussed on GitHub. There is a whitelist.
Database Table
- always lower case
- no points, no commas
- no spaces
- no dates
- use underscores
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
Remember to put your abbreviations in the
Data Integrity
"Data integrity refers to maintaining and assuring the accuracy and consistency of data over its entire life-cycle." (Wikipedia) These two aspects belong to the data quality criteria, the data in the oedb should meet.
General
- Each table should have a single auto-incremented integer column as Primary Key with the corresponding table constraint.
- Grant all privilegs to oeuser (automatically done by the system)
Geografic Data
- WGS84 - EPSG: 4326 (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/)
- ETRS89 / ETRS-LAEA - EPSG: 3035 (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3035/)
- Spacial index GIST has to be set
Data Referencing
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 here).
For these meta data the documentation open-standard Json is used (Wiki and 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
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 upper case and are given by the following definition of Database Tables. The Json meta documentation string is stored as table comment on the database table.
Meta Documentation of Tables
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:

Meta Documentation of data collections from several sources:
This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.
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).

Note: The general meta information like units are given meta documentation of the table.
The metadata BibTeX standard from JabRef is used for the Data Referencing in the table public.entries.
This section is still work in progress! Please contribute to the discussion to improve the implementation.
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.
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:
