General comment on data setFree text for general information about the Flow data set. It may contain information about e.g. the use of the substance, good, service or process in a specific technology or industry-context, information sources used, data selection principles etc.generalComment0
Quantitative reference
Reference flow propertyOne of the Flow's Flow properties, which is set as the default flow property in which the flow measured. (Data set internal reference to one of the flow properties in section "Quantitative flow properties".) () (No URI available)
Geography
Location of supplyOnly used for product or waste flows and only required for matrix-type databases. Location or region of supply / consumption or production of the good or service, or operation of the process. [Note 1: Entry can be of type "two-letter ISO 3166 country code" for countries, "seven-letter regional codes" for regions or continents, or "market areas and market organisations", as predefined for the ILCD. Also a name for e.g. a specific plant etc. can be given here (e.g. "FR, Lyon, XY Company, Z Site"; user defined). Note 2: The fact whether the entry refers to production or to consumption / supply has to be stated in the name-field "Mix and location types" e.g. as "Production mix".]locationOfSupply0
Technological representativeness
Technical purpose of product or wasteDescription of the intended / possible applications of the good or service, or waste. E.g. for which type of products the material, represented by this data set, is used. Examples: "This high purity chemical is used for analytical laboratories only." or "This technical quality bulk chemical is used for large scale synthesis in chemical industry.". Or: "This type of biowaste is typically composted or biodigested as the water content is too high for efficient combustion".technologicalApplicability0

Publication and ownership
UUID of flow data setAutomatically generated Universally Unique Identifier of this data set. Together with the "Data set version", the UUID uniquely identifies each data set.00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
Data set versionVersion number of data set. First two digits refer to major updates, the second two digits to minor revisions and error corrections etc. The third three digits are intended for automatic and internal counting of versions during data set development. Together with the data set's UUID, the "Data set version" uniquely identifies each data set.00.00
Preceding data set version (flow data set)Last preceding data set, which was replaced by this version. Either a URI of that data set (i.e. an internet address) or its UUID plus version number is given (or both).shortDescription10 (No URI available)

Permanent data set URIURI (i.e. an internet address) of the original of this data set. [Note: This equally globally unique identifier supports users and software tools to identify and retrieve the original version of a data set via the internet or to check for available updates. The URI must not represent an existing WWW address, but it should be unique and point to the data access point, e.g. by combining the data owner's www path with the data set's UUID, e.g. http://www.mycompany.com/lca/processes/50f12420-8855-12db-b606-0900210c9a66.]http://www.ilcd-network.org/data/processes/sample_flow.xml

Flow properties
Flow property"Flow property data set".Mean value (of flow property)Value for the flow expressed in this flow property in relationship to the the value of the flow expressed in its reference flow property (see field "Reference to reference flow property" in the "Quantitative reference" section). [Notes and examples: If the product flow "Diesel" is expressed by default in "Mass" (= reference flow property) and "kg" (= corresponding reference unit), the value that would be stated here for an additional flow property e.g. "Net calorific value" would be "42.5", as this flow property has the reference unit "MJ" and Diesel has a net calorific value of 42.5 MJ per 1 kg. It is recommended to report only significant digits of the value.]Minimum valueMinimum value of this flow property in case uncertainty distribution is uniform or triangular.Maximum valueMaximum value of this flow property in case uncertainty distribution is uniform or triangular.Uncertainty distribution typeDefines the kind of uncertainty distribution that is valid for this particular object or parameter.Relative StdDev in %The resulting overall uncertainty of the calculated variable value considering uncertainty of measurements, modelling, appropriateness etc. [Notes: For log-normal distribution the square of the geometric standard deviation (SDg^2) is stated. Mean value times SDg^2 equals the 97.5% value (= Maximum value), Mean value divided by SDg^2 equals the 2.5% value (= Minimum value). For normal distribution the doubled standard deviation value (2*SD) is entered. Mean value plus 2*SD equals 97.5% value (= Maximum value), Mean value minus 2*SD equals 2.5% value (= Minimum value). This data field remains empty when uniform or triangular uncertainty distribution is applied.]Data derivation type / statusIdentifies the way by which the Flow property value was derived (e.g. measured, estimated etc.), respectively the status and relevancy of missing data.
