nominations, allocations and renominations

The family of shipment-declaration indicators ENTSOG publishes next to measured physical flows at each interconnection point, alongside capacity split into technical, available and booked values.

In this catalog it appears concretely: - ENTSOG Transparency Platform short_description — "physical flows, nominations, allocations, renominations and capacity (technical/available/booked)". - nominations.

A table is only as good as the column you actually need. If this field is absent, sparsely populated or defined inconsistently across rows, no amount of surrounding richness rescues the analysis, so it deserves its own line in your evaluation checklist.

The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.

You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and ENTSOG Transparency Platform short_description lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.

Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:

1. Open ENTSOG Transparency Platform short_description and confirm its record — "physical flows, nominations, allocations, renominations and capacity (technical/available/booked)" — against the files you actually receive.
2. Open nominations and compare its listing against the delivered artifact before paying for a commercial equivalent.
3. Pin down update cadence in writing. Across this catalog, 22.6% of 1,744 datasets refresh daily and 64 still arrive only through a manual request form, so ask exactly how fresh each release is.
4. Check whether definitions are verified at all. Field definitions are verified for 1495 of 1,744 datasets (85.7%), and any source you license should meet that bar.
5. Price the delivery route before the license. In this catalog bulk download is the most common access method (725 datasets) ahead of official APIs (574), and 379 sources still require scraping — a maintenance cost that lands on you, not the vendor.
