The referenced file comprises the first release of the validity and conformity rules of the European Platform on LCA, v. 1.0.1. It provides the specifications of the requirements for sound documentation of LCA data sets with additional explanations for users.
The rules refer to the actual version of the ELCD format (Version 1.0.1). They will be further developed in 2007, together with stakeholders and in parallel to the finetuning of the ELCD format itself.
Note that applying the ELCD validity and ELCD conformity rules do not imply that the data meets a certain quality requirement or that the data set would be endorsed by the European Commission.
Please also refer to the license conditions of the ELCD format, accessible from http://lca.jrc.ec.europa.eu. Most but not all of these “ELCD validity” and “ELCD conformity” rules are also implemented in validity and conformity stylesheets,
that support and efficient automatic checking of individual data sets and whole databases for being valid and conform. “ELCD validity” refers to meeting the basic requirements of the ELCD data set format as well as providing the absolute
minimum information to have a useful data set following common sense and providing minimum information that it can be handled correctly by a software or database. E.g. that the data set is actually in ELCD-format, has a name, a format version number,
a date when it was generated, etc. “ELCD conformity” refers to further requirements being that type of information an LCA practitioner would usually like to have in order to judge the quality and appropriateness of a data set. |

| Data set format(s) (source data set)"Source data set" of the used version of the ILCD format. If additional data format fields have been integrated into the data
set file, using the "namespace" option, the used format namespace(s) are to be given. This is the case if the data sets carries
additional information as specified by other, particular LCA formats, e.g. of other database networks or LCA softwares. |

| Publication and ownership |
| UUID of source data setAutomatically generated Universally Unique Identifier of this data set. Together with the "Data set version", the UUID uniquely
identifies each data set. |
9c85162d-6c43-4bc7-bbb3-03e0c8b262b9 |
| 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. |
01.00.001 |
| 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.] |
