<h3 id="general-introduction">General Introduction</h3>
<p>The Open Energy Family aims to ensure quality, transparency and
reproducibility in energy
system research. It is a collection of <a href="https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/organisation">various
tools and information</a> that help working
with energy related data. It is a collaborative community effort, everything
is
openly developed and therefore constantly evolving.</p>
<p>The main module is the Open Energy Platform (OEP),
a web interface to access most of the modules, especially the community
database.
It provides a way to publish data with proper documentation (metadata), and
link it to source
code and underlying assumptions.</p>
<p>The address the problem of different name and data(base) formats, the
<a href="https://openenergy-platform.org/ontology">Open Energy Ontology
(OEO)</a>
was developed. The ontology provides a controlled vocabulary with clear
definitions of terms and relationships between those terms.
Data annotation adds the possibility of enhanced searching functions and
logical querying across data sets.
<p>
The Open Energy Family promotes quality, transparency, and reproducibility in
energy system research through a
<a href="https://openenergyplatform.github.io/organisation/family_members/">collection of tools</a>,
all developed openly. The primary module, the Open Energy Platform (OEP), offers a
web interface for accessing various tools and the community database, allowing users
to publish data with proper documentation.

<h3 id="what-energy-system-modelling">What? Energy System Modelling and
Data</h3>
<p>Openly licensed data relevant in the field of climate and energy research can
be published and accessed here. Especially energy system modelling data and
scenarios can be found, along with further information on the underlying
models, frameworks and studies.</p>
<p>Energy system models are used to explore the current and future energy
systems and are often applied to questions involving the expansion of
renewables and energy storages as well as energy and climate policy. The
models themselves vary widely in terms of their type, design, programming,
application, scope, level of detail, sophistication, and shortcomings.</p>
<p>The OEP considers the entire modelling process from the preprocessing of the
raw data, the simulations, the postprocessing of the result data. The heart
of the OEP is the underlying
<a href="https://openenergy-platform.org/dataedit/schemas">Open Energy
Database (OEDB)</a>,
which can be used by everyone and is maintained by a team of developers from
different
institutes.
<p>
To address the recurring issue of varying names and data(base) formats, the
<a href="https://openenergy-platform.org/ontology">Open Energy Ontology (OEO)</a>
was developed. This ontology offers a controlled vocabulary with clear definitions
of terms and the relationships between them. By annotating data with the OEO,
enhanced search functions and logical queries across data sets are possible.

<h3 id="what-energy-system-modelling">What? Energy System Modelling and Data</h3>
<p>
The platform provides openly licensed data relevant to climate and energy research,
including scenario projection data, qualitative information about scenarios, and
information about the models used to calculate projection data based on scenarios.
</p>

<h3 id="how-open-science">How? Open Science</h3>
<p>We follow and promote the principles of
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science">Open Science</a>
and offer an open infrastructure for energy system research.
The focus is on Open Data and the provision of modelling results under open
licenses.
The OEP uses an extensive metadata set, the
<a href="https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/oemetadata">OEMetadata</a>.
It is based on the
<a href="https://frictionlessdata.io/specs/tabular-data-package/">Tabular
Data Package</a>
specifications and the
<a href="https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/">FAIR principles</a>
to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of
digital assets.
<p>
The OEP adheres to
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science">Open Science principles</a>
by offering an open research data infrastructure for climate and energy system
research, emphasising the publishing of data and information under open licenses.
The platform uses an extensive metadata set,
<a href="https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/oemetadata">OEMetadata</a>, to
adhere to the
<a href="https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/">FAIR principles</a>: the
findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse of digital assets.

- Update the OpenEnergyFamily group picture on the about page [(#1816)](https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/oeplatform/pull/1816)
- Update existing ontology layout [(#1850)](https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/oeplatform/pull/1850)

- Enhance the OEP-about page content and layout [(#1859)](https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/oeplatform/pull/1859).

## Features

- Add the OEP-extended (oeo-ext) feature. It enables users to create new composed units (ontology classes) that extent the units available in the OEO. The feature is implemented as a plugin html form, it can be easily added to any Webpage of the oeplatform. [(#1680)](https://github.com/OpenEnergyPlatform/oeplatform/pull/1680)
