Impact accounting will play an important role in managing our relationship with the environment through the 21st century. A multitude of methods and standards exist for describing and quantifying environmental impact.  Using standard semantic web technology, the AIAO provides a fundamental ontology that can form the basis of mutually comparable data models and systems. \n\nOur AIAO, Ontology for Anthropogenic Impact Accounting, is a tool for aggregating and consolidating impact accounting data across different standards and vocabularies. The ontology intends to be generic enough for anthropogenic impact accounting in almost any discipline and context, including climate action impact [accounting](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/CASIG/An+ontology+for+anthropogenic+impact+accounting).\n\n## Status \n\nThe AIAO has been in development since April 2021. The ontology is functionally complete and currently published at https://purl.org/aiaontology and at https://github.com/aartum/CA2-SIG-StandardsWG/. Further development is ongoing. The priority for further work in the second half of 2024 is to improve documentation and to develop case studies with example data models and systems that use the ontology.\n\n## Relevance to GG21\n\nOur Standards Working Group of the Hyperledger Climate Action and Accounting Special Interest Group at The Linux Foundation focuses on the protocols and standards that will enable [consistent climate accounting](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/CASIG/Taxonomy+of+protocols%2C+standards%2C+methodologies+and+certifications).\n\nThe core concepts include an ontology or a view of what exists. An epistemology or a view of how we know things. And a semiology, a view of how to represent things.\n\nWe attempt to break the concept of climate action and the process of climate accounting down to their most essential structures and use that as a basis for designing representation thereof in [software.](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/CASIG/Core+concepts+of+a+DLT-enabled+standardisation+architecture)\n\nThe AIAO forms part of the *core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions* and is especially relevant for *carbon accounting* since it provides the ontology that can give rise to mutually interpretable data models and systems.\n\nIn this round, our project would like to promote the use of AIAO among the Actors registered in the [Climate Innovation Ecosystems of Latin America and Caribbean Survey](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VkWxcoC4RLxaWHZZHJLXb1jam4uPg9Kq/htmlview#) created by Christian Daube at [EIT Climate-KIC](https://www.climate-kic.org/).\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "aartum"}
