Welcome to the Federal LCA Commons documentation site. Here we provide guidance and resources for accessing data from the Federal LCA Commons (www.lcacommons.gov).
This site is generated with MyST Markdown from content stored on the FLCAC-docs GitHub repository.
Have Questions?¶
First, please refer to the documentation on this site:
- For questions on Data Use, Data Submission, or Repo Management, use the site menu (left side) to navigate.
- Check out the Frequently Asked Questions page.
- Have a terminology question? Check out the Glossary.
- The Other Resources page can also help direct you to useful resources.
If the above resources fail to answer your question, consider opening a new issue or contributing to a discussion thread.
Using Issues and Discussions¶
Confirm the Novelty of Your Issue or Discussion¶
Before opening a new issue or discussion on an FLCAC repo, please first confirm that your concern hasn’t already been raised or addressed. Review the lists of issues—both open and closed (e.g., this repo’s issues)—and discussions across the subset of FLCAC repos relevant to your issue:
| Topic | Repository |
|---|---|
| Federal Elementary Flow List | fedelemflowlist |
| LCIA methods on the FLCAC | LCIA formatter |
| USLCI | USLCI-content |
| Anything else | FLCAC-docs |
Issues¶
Issues are generally intended to report errors and request improvements related to the documentation. It is helpful if issues have a clear path towards resolution. Please apply labels to issues to help keep them organized. The list of available labels can be viewed via the Labels button on the Issues tab (e.g., FLCAC-docs labels).
Discussions¶
For topics with a wider scope or where more discussion may be required to reach a resolution, please post it as a Discussion. Please apply labels to help keep the discussion list organized. Discussions rely on the same set of repository-specific labels used by Issues.
