Integration with pyam-iamc result explorer in the web

[jkiviluo]

pyam-iamc provides a web-interface for browsing results. This can be especially useful for policy related work where there is an audience for the results that would like to explore the results themselves. It should be quite straightforward to make an exporter in Spine Toolbox for this purpose when someone has the need for it.

Thanks for raising this issue, happy to contribute to the implementation!

For clarification of purposes of our infrastructure and tools:

• a common data format established by the IAMC and used in many Horizon 2020 projects and the IPCC WG3 work, see https://github.com/openENTRANCE/openentrance#data-format-structure
• a Python package pyam[-iamc] (https://github.com/iamconsortium/pyam) for scenario analysis and visualization
• a Python package nomenclature[-iamc] (https://github.com/iamconsortium/nomenclature) for managing codelists and validation in model comparison projects like openENTRANCE
• an interactive web user interface (aka Scenario Explorer), see http://software.ece.iiasa.ac.at/ixmp-server

These tools are then combined for each project with specific configurations (list of variables/regions, validation workflows, etc.), usually on GitHub, some public, some only project-internal. See https://github.com/openENTRANCE/openentrance for an example of how it will fit together...

Having an easy-to-use exporter from Spine to the data format would allow to use (any of) these tools for model comparison projects, scenario analysis, or data dissemination. See how the H2020-SENTINEL project implemented this as part of their friendly-data package.
