 Ontology, epistemology and semiology

Ontology

(What are the 'things' that the system should know about?   

What are the defining properties or characteristics of each 'thing'?)

Epistemology (How will the system get information about these things and their attributes?)Semiology (How will each of the things be represented in the system?)

Agents



  • unique identifier (identity)
  • type (individual or group; if group, what type of group, e.g. organisation, company or movement; auditor)

An agent asserts their identity

Digital signature

Demonstration of control (challenge-response)

Activities


  • activity class (e.g. IPCC categories)
  • activity description 
  • location
  • start time
  • end time (possibly)
  • agent
  • input(s) (e.g. materials and energy; consumables and non-consumables)
  • output(s) product + waste
  • process(es)

  • objective (experience, create, reduce, destroy, avoid, verify) (optional / not required in all instances)

* An audit is a special type of activity where the input is a claim and the output is an evaluation of that claim.

Ex ante: An agent asserts their intentions to act in a Projet Design Document (PDD) 

Ex post: An agent describe their actions in a Projet Design Document (PDD) 

The activity and its results and impacts are documented  by the agent at intervals in a monitoring report (MR)

  • unique identifier

States

  • state definition (How to decide relevance?: Checlklist?)
  • location and extent
  • point in time
  • metrics
  • type (actual [measured] or baseline [counterfactual])

*State as in environmental state (not political state)

Indicators for states

Indicators delivered by agents via PDDs and MRs

  • unique identifier
  • Impact claim per state
Indicators
  • name
  • definition
  • unit of measure
  • rationale
  • calculation
  • credibility

  • unique identifier
Standards
  • name
  • author(s)
  • applicability - type of agent, type of activity, state
  • requirements (e.g. reporting requirements, calculation requirements)
  • version
  • method(s)
  • precision
  • accuracy / std error
  • emission factors (defaults)

  • unique identifier
