soda4LCA

On behalf of and in close cooperation with the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission, the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) data format was implemented at the IAI. In addition, various tools have been developed to work with the new data format, including the ILCD Editor, the JRC's web-based ELCD database application and the National LCA Database of Malaysia.

In the course of working on many projects in which the storage of life cycle data plays an important role, the need for a flexible, powerful and web-enabled data storage system for LCA data was recognized. As a result, such a solution was designed and implemented at the IAI, which provides functions such as storage and retrieval of ILCD-formatted data sets via both a web-based user interface and a REST-based service interface. The latter enables convenient and standardized access by other software tools.

The JRC is expressly thanked for numerous conceptual suggestions and valuable feedback from practical use.

The software is made available free of charge under the GNU AGPL license and can be downloaded in source code and as an executable web archive (WAR) from the BitBucket source code repository.
