Energy Security Data Base

A database framework to store, link and index UN documents containing contributions relevant to energy security. The database serves as a basis for consolidating and evaluating all relevant aspects of the subject.

The Data Base provides a structure, into which the following entries can be accomodated:

• an index list with all necessary references (work on this is currently in progress)
• a set of compilations of selected documents within an agreed keyword structure
• links to full text documents
• evaluations of the study group (later stage)

Start Date: Aug. 1st 2008

End Date: none, but progress review every three months

Costs: initially none; will be borne by numeric tech technology consultancy; after exceeding a certain data volume and for data compilation some funding would be useful

• Proposal for Keyword based Document Compilation

• EnSecIn_live2.xls: Living Index File Concerning Energy Security Publications
