Open Energy Ontology (OEO)

Introduction

The Open Energy Ontology (OEO) is a domain ontology of the energy system analysis context. It is developed as part of the Open Energy Family. The OEO is published on GitHub under an open source license. The language used is the Manchester OWL Syntax, which was chosen because it is user-friendly for editing and viewing differences of edited files. The OEO is constantly being extended. The first version of the OEO has been released on June 11th 2020. A Steering Committee (OEO-SC) was created to accompany the development, increase awareness of the ontology and include it in current projects.

Mission

The mission is to establish a long-term organization that supports and guides both ontology developers and ontology users.
It serves as a central point of contact for all interested stakeholders.
