v1.0.0 - Major release: End of SIROP

oeplatform v1.0.0 Release

We’re thrilled to announce the release of oeplatform v1.0.0, a milestone version that marks the end of the funded SIROP research project and introduces a comprehensive set of features aimed at revolutionizing energy projection documentation and scenario comparison. This release brings powerful new tools for documenting energy scenarios in full detail, providing both text-based factsheets and a robust framework for uploading and describing input and output datasets through the OMetadata profile.

Key New Features

• Scenario Bundles and Knowledge Graph Integration: We’ve fully integrated the Open Energy Ontology (OEO) into the oeplatform, creating a cohesive, machine-readable knowledge graph that represents a wide array of research objects and relationships. This foundation allows us to offer an intuitive user interface, making all this information human-readable while enabling the creation, management, and comparison of scenario bundles in just a few clicks.

• Qualitative and Quantitative Comparison Framework: Users can now perform in-depth comparisons across scenario bundles, which include descriptive elements of each projection. This framework provides a robust qualitative analysis, allowing researchers to identify similarities and differences across scenarios based on linked information. Additionally, our prototype facilitates the comparison of tabular data within scenario bundles, annotated with the OEO and oemetadata, helping to identify common patterns and comparable elements across datasets.

• Framework for Data Annotation and Visualization: We’ve developed an initial research prototype that visualizes data structure annotations in a graph format. Using the OEO for annotating column names and specific data values, this system allows users to draw meaningful connections across annotated datasets. As more users annotate their data, we can identify similar patterns across tables, paving the way for more comprehensive, data-driven comparisons.

This release not only tackles the complexities of heterogeneous data but also lays the groundwork for a transparent, extensible framework for energy scenario modeling. We see this as a critical base upon which future work can build, ultimately empowering decision-makers and researchers with clearer, more accessible insights into energy projection scenarios. We’re excited to share these advancements and look forward to seeing the platform evolve to support a new era of informed energy scenario analysis.

Here’s a detailed overview of what’s new in this release:

Improved User Experience and Accessibility

• The platform’s usability takes a leap with visual enhancements across various tools. We’ve added site headings and improved form control visibility to make navigation more intuitive and user-friendly.
• The OEP-about page has been revamped for better content layout, giving users a streamlined overview of the platform’s purpose and scope.

New Features and Capabilities

• Introducing the OEO-extended feature: This new addition empowers users to create custom units by extending existing OEO units through a plugin that can be seamlessly integrated across oeplatform pages.
• A new feature for quantitative scenario projection comparison allows users to analyze and compare datasets across scenarios with the same characteristics. This feature aligns with standardized scenario comparison methods and is a preview of ongoing research.
• Error message displays have been added to enhance the transparency of plugin interactions, helping users understand and address issues more effectively.

Ontology and Embargo Enhancements

• Our embargo area functionality now has expanded support, with improvements to both the UI and API to better handle embargo periods, ensuring data protection aligns with project specifications.
• The ontology pages have been upgraded, streamlining navigation and adding direct access to the oeox plugin with early access indicators. Users can now access an extended library of OEO resources and download options.

Bug Fixes and Documentation Updates

• This release addresses several bugs, including improved table name validation and settings to ensure secure authorization in API requests.
• Our documentation has been updated to include installation instructions for the new OEO-extended feature and details on restarting oeplatform within Docker.

Thank you for your continued support and input as we work to make oeplatform a comprehensive resource for open energy data projects. Explore these new features, share your feedback, and stay tuned for more enhancements!
