Data from the Federal LCA Commons, a federation of U.S.
federal agency, national laboratory and academic life-cycle inventory
publishers. The Commons hosts rather than authors: each dataset carries the
rights and restrictions its own submitting organisation declared.

A Linked Data wrapper around the Federal LCA Commons.
COVERAGE, STATED UP FRONT because the name promises more than the data allows.
The Commons publishes 27 repositories and all 27 are DESCRIBED here from its
live metadata API. Dataset content is SERVED for two of them — the U.S. Life
Cycle Inventory Database and the U.S. electricity baseline — because the
Commons has no release-download endpoint and only these publish their archives
elsewhere. A request for a dataset in one of the other 25 gets a 404 that says
so and links upstream, rather than one implying the record does not exist.
Those two are not an arbitrary pair: together they are the CLOSURE of the USLCI
supply graph. Every one of its 3 730 supply links resolves within them, 358 of
them crossing from USLCI into the baseline, and the baseline names no suppliers
of its own.
METADATA IS LIVE; DATASET CONTENT IS PACKAGED. That split is forced by the
source rather than chosen — there is no per-dataset endpoint — and it means
dataset documents version by their release and change only when this wrapper is
redeployed. @en
