Downloading data¶
Download whole repositories or repository elements (e.g., processes and flows) on the FLCAC as a JSON-LD file type. If prompted, select which version of openLCA you are working in; newer versions of openLCA are 2.0 and later.
In openLCA, right click on a pre-existing database or create a new, empty database. Select import, select file, and navigate to the downloaded JSON-LD file in your file explorer.
See the ‘Importing and Combining Database’ section of the openLCA manual for more information.

Commons Merged Data Package¶
The FLCAC provides an all-in-one downloadable data package of LCI data from select repositories and LCIA methods. “Commons Merged” compiles versions of existing data packages (or repositories) on the FLCAC and combines them as intended by the original authors. This eliminates the need for users to download multiple repositories and connect providers across bridge processes. For more information see Commons Merged.
