OpenEI data on Linked Open Data Catalog

Instance linkages within the Linking Open Data...Image via WikipediaOpenEI uses linked open data to share data across multiple platforms, using semantic web technologies. The Linked Open Data Catalog (LODG) project shares the same mission as OpenEI, and has recently included OpenEI datasets in its catalog.

If you go to the open energy dataset category search, LODG lists OpenEI along other prominent source of energy data. The list includes: Data.gov.uk (United Kingdom), Data.gov (United States), Data.gc.ca (Canada), and Data.govt.nz (New Zealand).

The site allows you to directly access several thousand datasets across multiple platforms, a true testament to the power of linked open data. As catalogs of data like that on the LODG platform continue to grow, access to energy data will become even more easy, leading to improved analysis and visualizations.
