Clarify path to published tables on OEP #457

Open nesnoj opened 3 years ago

Clarify the location where tables will be published on the OEP #367. This is required to set the id variable in the metadata. (As we use the OEP's current naming in our DB, I assume we can simply keep the schemas' and tables' names.)

It currently follows the pattern https://openenergy-platform.org/dataedit/view/SCHEMA/TABLE, this will be kept in the future too, right @christian-rli ?

(You can find a full list of current tables in #450)

We (@MGlauer @wingechr ) are currently working on dissolving schemas on the OEP. Reasons: schemas are inflexible and annoying. It's hard to move between them. tables cannot belong to more than one and they are hard to find. The goal is to allow users to select their own data collection(s) to which a dataset can belong. All existing schemas will remain as data collections and all existing tables will remain available under the old URL, but new URLs will no longer have the /SCHEMA bit in the URL. The table name will be replaced by a number, however we were thinking to allow specific alternative (human readable) URLs to be used as alternative. I'm assuming you would like to make use of that option?

It's unclear, how long it will take to implement these changes, but we're slowly starting with the process now. I would strongly assume, that if you publish your data this year, they will still fall under the current system.

The idea of data collections apart from simple tags sounds great, I guess that'll be quiet some work for you (or @Ludee ).. :hammer: I think we will be ready to publish the data in spring 2022, we can use whatever option will be available by then.
