Understanding EF (Environmental Footprint and LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) databases

[rufuspollock]

When designing EF databases and their business models I want a background conceptual framework about EF data

Diagrams in progress here: https://link.excalidraw.com/l/9u8crB2ZmUo/4djYIFVQrXU

Acceptance

• Key documents if any 🚧2023-03-29 here's the big EU doc https://eplca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/permalink/TR_EF_data_FINAL.pdf. See pg. 16 for a diagram of what a dataset is
• Definitions of key terms e.g. what is a footprint
• Definition of processes and inputs
• Input hierarchy and how processes + inputs can compute EF for more complex inputs

Pt 2: practicalities of calculating EF data

• How is a "raw" dataset turned into an EF datasets
• Structure of EF datasets
