Inventory of available data sets and interconnections
- Documenting which data sets use which classifications
- Concordances to help with translating between classifications
Map of linkages between datasets useful for IS. Links between classifications indicate the existence of concordances. Links from LCA & facilities databases indicate which classifications are used by them.
There will never be one “master” standard, but we need to develop ways of more intelligently working with the existing standards. This means developing ways of automatically suggesting which tags are relevant given pieces of text.
Synergies between datasets
- “Recipe cards” of data types and applications – help us define synergies that can arise by combining data sets
- e.g. LCA data can be used to infer information about the operation of industrial facilities
