No information on allocation present #19

Open RutgerSchurgers opened 5 years ago

RutgerSchurgers commented 5 years ago

We can have multiple outputs for an activity. In SimaPro and the SimaPro platform, we need to allocate a percentage of the impact of the activity to the outputs. E.g. when I have a cow that I keep mainly for milk but also produces meat, I can have two outputs, one for milk that I allocate 80% of the impact to and one for meat for 20%. Currently, we don't have this information in the schema, so I need to default the primary output to 100% and all others to 0%. Users would have to fix it manually after importing.

Allocation is a value choice, so this is not something we would deal with in BONSAI. But usually, allocations are based on properties of flows, so if you need any properties that are not currently in the ontology this should be added (or maybe it is rather a taxonomy of properties that needs to be added)
