Sparse DQR values in Agribalyse 3.1

Question

I noticed that only very few datasets in Agribalyse 3.1 have any DQR values.

Have these just not been provided by Agribalyse?

Or did they go missing when converting them to the openLCA format?

thank you and regards

Matthias

Hi Matthias, maybe you used the SimaPro version, SimaPro does not understand data quality values (or, puts them in the description field where they cannot be used in calculations), therefore they are not accessible as data quality in openLCA.

However, when preparing a database from SimaPro to openLCA, we often manage to "dig out" these from the description and put them into the data quality fields in openLCA, but we do this via queries.

Best wishes,

Andreas

Ok, I (kinda) understand.
Just to clarify, this means these values will not be added in future either then?
