Abstract
To investigate the effect of possible changes to decarbonise the economy, a detailed picture of the current production system is needed. Material/energy flow analysis (MEFA) allows for building such a model. There are, however, prohibitive barriers to the integration and use of the diverse datasets necessary for a system-wide yet technically-detailed MEFA study. Here we present a demonstration of the "Physical Resources Observatory" (PRObs) system, which exploits Semantic Web technologies to integrate and reason on top of this diverse production system data. We demonstrate how this system supports domain experts to load datasets, map them to the ontology, and query the extended data to meet several modelling use cases.
