Current State and Call for Action To Accomplish Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability of Low Carbon Energy Data
(Nature Portfolio, 2022) Schwanitz, Valeria Jana; Wierling, August; Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Celino, Massimo; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Balazinska, Maria; Kruczek, Mariusz
With the continued digitization of the energy sector, the problem of sunken scholarly data investments and forgone opportunities of harvesting existing data is exacerbating. It compounds the problem that the reproduction of knowledge is incomplete, impeding the transparency of science-based targets for the choices made in the energy transition. The FAIR data guiding principles are widely acknowledged as a way forward, but their operationalization is yet to be agreed upon within different research domains. We comprehensively test FAIR data practices in the low carbon energy research domain. 80 databases representative for data needed to support the low carbon energy transition are screened. Automated and manual tests are used to document the state-of-the art and provide insights on bottlenecks from the human and machine perspectives. We propose action items for overcoming the problem with FAIR energy data and suggest how to prioritize activities.

Fair Metadata Standards for Low Carbon Energy Research-A Review of Practices and How To Advance
(Mdpi, 2021) Wierling, August; Schwanitz, Valeria Jana; Altinci, Sebnem; Balazinska, Maria; Barber, Michael J.; Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Burger-Scheidlin, Christopher; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Solak, Berfu
The principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR) have been put forward to guide optimal sharing of data. The potential for industrial and social innovation is vast. Domain-specific metadata standards are crucial in this context, but are widely missing in the energy sector. This report provides a collaborative response from the low carbon energy research community for addressing the necessity of advancing FAIR metadata standards. We review and test existing metadata practices in the domain based on a series of community workshops. We reflect the perspectives of energy data stakeholders. The outcome is reported in terms of challenges and elicits recommendations for advancing FAIR metadata standards in the energy domain across a broad spectrum of stakeholders.
