Project Description:
The project is about the development of da networked data base concept based on the ideas of linked open data and the semantic web for input and output data of energy system models in energy systems analysis. Further a link shall be established to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems for spatially and temporally resolved data. The developed tools shall be tested with various energy system models within the project. Finally best practice guides will be developed which support the further use of the tools in energy systems analysis. The aim of the project is the development and demonstration of a possible data infrastructure for energy systems analysis. 

The project consists of seven work packages

• Devleopment of an ontology of energy systems analysis
• Analysis and recommendations for data licences
• Concept and set up of a data infrastructure
• Development of interfaces to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems.
• Development of sample interfaces for various types of energy system models.
• Test and demonstration of the system
• Development of best practice guides fort he further use of the system
