Choosing a table to be published#

If you want to publish a table (including [data and] metadata) you have to go to your profile page on the OEP. Now select the tab Tables. Listed are data tables that you have uploaded or where you got group permissions assinged to; First are listed all tables you have already published, if you have not published any tables yet, this field will show 'You have never published a table.'. Beneath are listed all of your tables in the model draft section. From this tables you can select the table you want to publish. Note: Only tables with an valid id and license in their metadata can be published on the OEP.

Choosing an embargo and a topic#

Once you selected the table you want to publish, a pop-up field Publish Table will open. Next to the fields is an i icon giving more information if you hover your mouse over it. First you can apply an embargo; in a drop down menu you can select between none, and a 6 months or 1 year embargo period. Note: If you selct None there will be no embargo periode applied, even if you selected one while uploading the table. Second you have to Select data topic from one of the 12 available topics; scenario, boundaries, climate, demand, economy, enviromente, grid, openstreetmap, policy, refernce, society and supply. Note: You can only choose one data topic. With tags it is possible to mark the content of you data even more precisely.

Finishing the process#

Once you click Confirm in the pop-up window the table will be moved from the model draft to the data topic you selected. Now it can be seen in the Database under the selcted topic and on the profile page it is now visible as Published datatables.
