Hi,

I wondered where I can find the data quality of the LCI datasets. Sometimes the folder "modelling and validation" reveals some information in the form of PDFs that can be found in sources. However, this seems not consistent for every dataset. Can you help me?

Best regards,

Michel

openLCA can calculate the data quality, per process and per exchange (i.e., flow in a process), following the classic pedigree structure. This is explained in the handbook, e.g. (even the old one, in openLCA.org, resources). It is then also calculated for a life cycle. Depending on the database, further data quality information can be provided in other documentation fields.
