Earthster has a number of concurrent projects. The RefData project aims to publish reference data useful to LCA practitioners and to enable the community to comment on and add to this reference data. The first focus of this project is producing a reference list of elementary flows.
The FlowData subproject of RefData ingests data about elementary flows and turns it into RDF formated reference data. The input data used so far has been supplied by GreenDelta who produced it whilst working on their format converter which not only translates between EcoSpold and ILCD formatted files but also, from version 8, between the different nomenclatures used by the two formats.
The first version of this FlowData project has been loaded into the RefData Mercurial repository and the reference data it is producing made available as a zip file. This release does not indicate that the data is ready for production use. It is merely the first step of developing the code in public.
