Battery Pass Data Model

Welcome to the Battery Pass Data Model repository! This project provides a comprehensive data model based on the Battery Pass Content Guidance, aimed at standardizing and streamlining the exchange of battery-related information across the value chain.

Table of Contents

Overview

The Battery Pass Data Model is designed to facilitate the digital representation of battery-related data, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. This model supports the efficient exchange of data between various stakeholders in the battery lifecycle, including manufacturers, suppliers, recyclers, and regulators. The content of the data model is derived from the Battery Pass Project Data Point List

Features

• Standardized Data Representation: Ensures uniformity in the way battery data is recorded and shared.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Includes all critical aspects of battery data as specified in the Battery Pass Content Guidance.
• Scalability: Suitable for use in projects of varying scales, from small businesses to large enterprises.
• Interoperability: Facilitates seamless data exchange between different systems and platforms.

Installation

To use the Battery Pass Data Model, you can clone the repository and integrate it into your project. Ensure you have Git installed.

git clone https://github.com/batterypass/BatteryPassDataModel.git
cd BatteryPassDataModel

Usage

To incorporate the data model into your application, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/batterypass/BatteryPassDataModel.git

2. Import the Data Model: Integrate the provided data model definitions into your database or application schema. Refer to the documentation in the /docs directory for detailed description of the battery pass data attributes.

3. Customize as Needed: Adapt the data model to fit your specific requirements. Ensure any modifications remain compliant with the Battery Pass Content Guidance.

Data Model Structure

The data model is organized into several parameter categories, each representing a different dedicated aspect of battery data, that can be composed to a complete battery pass data model. Below is a high-level overview. You'll find a detailed list with descriptions of the individual data points in the /doc folder. Follow the links for the different data attribute categories for further information on the individual sub-models.

• General Product Information:
  • Battery ID
  • Manufacturer
  • Battery status
  • Production Date

Detailed schema definitions and relationships between entities are provided in the /BatteryPass directory. For the compilation of the data model schema, the Eclipse Semantic Modeling Framework was used, that provides a meta model for data modelling for data exchange purpose that build upon the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and its compact textual syntax called Turtle (*.ttl). In each sub model schema folder you'll find the corresponding Turtle file and a ./gen folder that includes several derivations of the data model in differnet formats:

• JSON-Schema (*-schema.json)
• JSON-Payload(*-sample.json)
• OpenAPI Specification (*_en-open-api.json)
• Asset Administration Shell XML (*.aasx.xml)
• Documentation (*-documentation.html)

An example of the concrete implementation of a battery passport system based on that data model could be found here: https://thebatterypass.io/

The architectural structure of the software demonstrator and the implementation concepts behind the implementation are published in the Battery Passport Technical Guidance. The rationale for the usage of RDF and the Semantic Modelling Framework can be found in chalter 4.9 of this document.
