Access to the latest high quality information on renewables, energy efficiency and climate change is fundamental to the acceleration of the clean energy marketplace, facilitating investments, promoting new legislation and regulations and broadening interest and knowledge in the sector.
As reegle.info provides relevant clean energy data from several key energy open data sources as for instance
OpenEI,
World Bank Data or the
UK Open Data Portal the reegle.info Information Gateway has a strong need for efficient and automated data management mechanisms and technologies! Therefore
REEEP (The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership) decided to use
Linked Open Data (LOD).
Linked Open Data provides a powerful way for reegle.info for sustainable data management and data integration – thereby the current reegle.info linked (open) energy data cloud came into being and looks as follows:
The figure of the reegle.info linked (open) energy data cloud above shows the model behind the scenes of the reegle.info clean energy information gateway providing an insight about sources and respective connections / links between the several sources and data sets.
