HydroSource Data Dictionary
In recent years, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has conducted innovative hydropower research sponsored by the US Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) to address important questions regarding technology advancement, existing hydropower assets, future hydropower potential, environmental concerns, policy and regulatory decisions, and market trends to support hydropower sustainability in the United States. Data from this research supports a broad and diverse user base including US federal, state, and local governments; national laboratories; hydropower industry; academia; nonprofit organizations; and other end users. The development of a relational database system is needed to ensure proper management of the continuously increasing breadth and depth of these data to guarantee their future value and reliability for advancing hydropower research and supporting the goals and objectives of our partners and US hydropower stakeholders. During FY 2018, ORNL’s HydroSource team reconciled data from ORNL’s WPTO-funded projects to create the HydroSource Data Model, Version 1 (HSDM1) schema. The HSDM1 schema provides the essential step in data assimilation toward unifying ORNL’s WPTO-funded data into a relational database management system. This report provides technical documentation of the HSDM1 schema to help guide future development and implementation of the HydroSource database system.
