  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_publishing - also data publication, is the act of releasing research data in published form for use by others. It is a practice consisting in preparing certain data or data set(s) for public use thus to make them available to everyone to use as they wish. This practice is an integral part of the open science movement. There is a large and multidisciplinary consensus on the benefits resulting from this practice.


  • The Turing Way - handbook to reproducible, ethical and collaborative data science. The Turing Way project is open source, open collaboration, and community-driven. We involve and support a diverse community of contributors to make data science accessible, comprehensible and effective for everyone. Our goal is to provide all the information that researchers and data scientists in academia, industry and the public sector need to ensure that the projects they work on are easy to reproduce and reuse. Top Tip The Turing Way is not meant to be read from start to finish. Start with a concept, tool or method that you need now, in your current work. Browse the different guides that make up the book, or use the search box to search for whatever you would like to learn about first. All stakeholders, including researchers, software engineers, project leaders and funding teams, are encouraged to use The Turing Way to understand their roles and responsibility of reproducibility in data science. You can inspect our resources on GitHub, contribute to the project as described in our contribution guidelines and re-use all materials.

  • Swagger UI - Service for Data Access This service implements the IVOA SODA-1.0 service specification. To use this service, the caller must use a dataset identifier found through some means (for example, querying the ALMA TAP ObsCore Service). The SODA service provides a drill-down mechanism to access the data files and associated resources.


SODA API

  • SODA API - SODA Foundation - Provides the standardization for Data / Storage Management APIs. Currently we support block and file APIs for key features of data management (provisioning, migration, fileshare, etc). Working to add the storage management APIs. This is the key external interface to platforms, which can do a seamless integration with heterogeneous storage backends. Users can develop SODA North-Bound Plugins (SODA NBP) under SODA NBP project to connect any platform or application solutions to SODA API from north for all storage/data requirements. We envision this to be the reference implementation of SODA Data Standard API Specification, which we plan to work with our industry partners and standards bodies. At that stage, this layer will upgraded to support Block, File and Object APIs across the Edge, Core and Cloud.

  • EERAdata Community Platform - Sharing data among energy system stakeholders is key for the low-carbon energy transition. This platform provides easy access to a wide range of energy data and offers services and tools for implementing the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Re-usability (FAIR) data principles.
  • Data-driven decision-support to increase energy efficiency through renovation in European building stock. | EERAdata | Project | Fact sheet | H2020 | CORDIS | European Commission - To address climate change, the EU is pursuing an ambitious initiative to improve energy efficiency (EE) – a fundamental goal of the EU’s energy policy. EE helps reduce public and private costs and diminishes environmental damage. Local administrations are particularly affected but limited coordination of related stakeholders including municipalities obstructs its wide range effective application. The EU-funded EERAdata project will test a software application that will support local administrations in policymaking. It will collect data from a wide range of sources to describe and estimate the impact of EE in different types of buildings to close the knowledge gap that lack of coordination provokes.
  • Community News: EERAdata Says Goodbye: WHY H2020 Project - After almost 3 years of great collaborations and hard work, the EERAdata project has come to an end last month. The partners presented the EERAdata Decision Support Tool, a socio-economic and LifeCycle Assessment software for energy efficiency interventions on the public building stock during their final events. If you have missed these catch up by reading the key takeaways from the conference and watch the presentation from the training here.

  • Swagger Specification - an API description format for REST APIs. An OpenAPI file allows you to describe your entire API, including:




  • https://github.com/zalando/connexion - a framework that automagically handles HTTP requests based on OpenAPI Specification (formerly known as Swagger Spec) of your API described in YAML format. Connexion allows you to write an OpenAPI specification, then maps the endpoints to your Python functions; this makes it unique, as many tools generate the specification based on your Python code. You can describe your REST API in as much detail as you want; then Connexion guarantees that it will work as you specified.
