Impact

Technical Details

• "Download CSV" links are present on certain pages (e.g. http://en.openei.org/wiki/Map_of_Clean_Energy_Companies)
• A SPARQL endpoint for querying data (http://en.openei.org/sparql), plus a few examples of its use (http://en.openei.org/resources/)
• RDF Exports of any given page via the "browse properties" link (e.g. http://en.openei.org/wiki/Special:ExportRDF/Colorado)

OpenEI is also planning to:

• Provide a bulk download of our complete RDF (similar to how one can get complete dbpedia exports)
• Provide a better way to find various datasets (and download them in various formats, such as RDF and CSV)
• Provide a mechanism for submitting bulk datasets which is separate from, but complementary to, our Wiki)

Media

• CKAN package: http://ckan.net/package/openei
