Explanatory notes fo the GIS supported web tool on characterized case studies in Europe

• Case study characterization focuses on technological and operational aspects allowing for general characterization – other topics (e.g., environmental or economic aspects) might be added at a later stage if required 
• Publicly accessible data focus on data ranges instead of specific values 
• Specific values can be added on a voluntary basis and will not be explicitly published 
• All data provided must be linked to data owners and will undergo plausibility and conformity checks – data owners will be asked to approve the publishing of the provided information during the kick-off phase 
• Data owners will have full access control to the data provided once the content management system has been implemented (from autumn 2022 on)
