Reviewing the Energy Semantic Artefacts Landscape

Abstract:

Being able to use common terminology helps in the discovery, use and reuse of objects in the energy sphere. The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles specify the use of domain specific common terminology which can be referenced and accessed by machine. The first interoperable principle states that “(meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation.” There are two purposes for this work: firstly to establish if there is a single semantic artefact that satisfies this criteria for the energy community and secondly to identify possible candidates that would improve the current classification schemes in use. by the EDC <p> The energy field for research, development and operation is very multi-disciplinary, it ranges over domains from psychology to heavy engineering, including materials development, economics, politics and agriculture. This spread of domains means that there is not a single community to develop agreed controlled vocabularies but many, each focussed on their needs. <p>
