Flow mapping data is in the form of a pandas dataframe with the following fields.
| Field | Type | Required? | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| SourceListName | string | Y | Name and version of the source flowlist, e.g. openLCA1.7 or TRACI2.1 |
| SourceFlowName | string | Y | Name of the source flow |
| SourceFlowUUID | string | N | If no UUID present, UUID generated based on olca algorithm |
| SourceFlowContext | string | Y | Compartments separated by /, like emission/air |
| SourceUnit | string | Y | A unit abbreviation, like kg |
| MatchCondition | string | N | Single character. =, >,<,~. Meaning 'equal to','a superset of', 'a subset of', 'a proxy for'. Assumes = if not present |
| ConversionFactor | float | N | Value for multiplying with source flow to equal target flow. Assumes 1 if not present |
| TargetFlowName | string | Y | Name of the Fed Commons flowable |
| TargetFlowUUID | string | Y | UUID for Fed Commons flow |
| TargetFlowContext | string | Y | Fed commons context, in form like emission/air |
| TargetUnit | string | Y | A unit abbreviation, like kg |
| Mapper | string | N | Person creating the mapping |
| Verifier | string | N | Person verifying the mapping |
| LastUpdated | datetime | N | Date mapping last updated |
Note that TargetList is not present, because the Fed LCA Commons Elementary Flow List is always assumed target.
