Building linked open data about carbon savings

linked open data for carbon savings

We have written a research report which walks through how we might build linked open data (LoD) about carbon savings from dissimilar data sources.

It outlines (using small samples from the datasets) how the data pipeline that feeds our prototype-6 webapp, works.

The Fair Share – the CO2e saved by this university based, reuse store

Discover how many cars worth of CO2e is avoided each year because of this university based, reuse store

The Fair Share is a university based, reuse store. It accepts donations of second-hand books, clothes, kitchenware, electricals, etc. and sells these to students. It is run by the Student Union at the University of Stirling. It meets the Revolve quality standard for second-hand stores.

The Fair Share is in the process of publishing its data as open data. Click on the image below to see a web page that is based on an draft of that work.
