The Renewable Energy Federation maintains an online database of renewable energy generators located in the United Kingdom. The dataset consists of over 5500 generators around the UK, including both on-shore and off-shore installations. The generators have all been categorized based on type and many of them include details of their address, geographic location, and details of the organizations that developed, operate, or own the site. Some wind turbine installations also include details on the number, size and type of turbines.

Default APIs

SPARQL Endpoint

Use the SPARQL 1.1 query language to perform structured queries against a dataset. Useful for performing precise queries against a dataset whose structure you understand.

Sample queries

Select geographic location of generators

Leigh Dodds

11th Aug 2011

This query selects the uri, name, unique identifier, and latitude and longitude of 10 generators. Any generators that do not have a latitude or longitude will not be returned in the results.

To change the number of results returned, simply change or remove the LIMIT clause on the query.

Query:

PREFIX dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> PREFIX r: <http://data.kasabi.com/dataset/renewable-energy-generators/schema/generators/> PREFIX geo: <http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#> SELECT ?uri ?id ?label ?lat ?long WHERE { ?uri a r:Generator; dcterms:identifier ?id; rdfs:label ?label; geo:lat ?lat; geo:long ?long } LIMIT 10

Search API

Perform a free-text search against the text fields indexed in a dataset. Useful when you want to quickly query a dataset but don't know, or need to know its structure. There is also a solr search endpoint allowing more complex queries.

Lookup API

Retrieve a description of a single resource. Useful for fetching the key properties and relationships of a single entity.

Reconciliation API

Useful for resolving names, labels or codes against a dataset in Kasabi to find links to more data. This API is compatible with the Google Refine tool.

How to Attribute This Dataset

Kasabi provides a quick and easy way to attribute a dataset from any webpage. We think attribution is an important community norm.

To directly embed an attribution message in a webpage, add a script tag that invokes our Attribution API as follows

<script
     type="text/javascript"
     src="http://api.kasabi.com/dataset/renewable-energy-generators/attribution">
</script>

If you need more flexible options, then read the Attribution API documentation
