Data
Compatibility and data
Volca is meant to work with serious environmental datasets, but public proof and licensed data have to be handled differently. This page explains that posture clearly.
In brief
- Public proof should use legally shareable datasets such as BAFU.
- Licensed datasets such as Ecoinvent and Agribalyse fit a BYOL posture.
- Compatibility matters, but public redistribution of restricted data is not the story.
Public proof data
BAFU is the best current foundation for public demos, examples, screenshots, tutorials, and benchmarkable artifacts because it is shareable and credible.
Licensed and restricted data
Ecoinvent and Agribalyse are important, but should be presented with a bring-your-own-license posture rather than as public bundled content.
Compatibility as trust work
Mapping visibility, characterization coverage, and explicit handling of gaps are part of Volca’s credibility, not just implementation detail.
