sentier.dev

Open infrastructure for quantitative sustainability assessment.

This repository is the planning and discussion home of the sentier.dev platform. It holds no runnable code.

What it is

  • Product vision and requirements for the platform.
  • Engineering decisions (ADRs) and the contributing guide.
  • Architecture and sequence diagrams.
  • Discussion templates for suggesting new data sources and models.

The platform is split into one repository per component. Engineering/ADRs/ADR_1_MultiRepo.md explains why.

Repository Role
sentier-vocab Vocabulary terms and schemas
sentier-inventory Life cycle inventory datasets
sentier-methods Impact assessment methods
sentier-mappings Cross-source mappings
sentier-importers Imports external data into the repositories above
sentier-brightway Installs Sentier data into a Brightway project

Development philosophy

  • Most content will come from volunteers, as in OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia.
  • Our job is to make contributing easy and rewarding.
  • The code is FOSS. Project and product management happen in the open too.
  • Participation is governed by the code of conduct in CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.

The sequence diagrams in Sequence diagrams/README.md describe a design hypothesis, not the built system.
