The emission_factor_text table

The per-factor link into text_term: which text surface it is (description, included processes, applicability, ...), in which language, and where it came from.

Fields#

field type required example meaning
factor_id uuid yes The factor this row annotates.
field text yes activity_main / activity_detail / activity_full / description / included_processes / applicability / usage_definition / unit_label / tags (the closed set is ingest.models.TEXT_FIELDS)
lang text yes Language of the text, as a two-letter code.
term_id uuid yes The deduplicated text string this link points at.
origin text yes source / translated / generated

Notes#

The surfaces are kept apart rather than concatenated because each answers a different question: what the factor is, what sits inside the boundary in the publisher's own words, and when to use it.
