FlowMapRef

Describes a source or target flow in a FlowMappingEntry of a FlowMap. Such a flow reference can also optionally specify the unit and flow property (quantity) for which the mapping is valid. If the unit or quantity is not given, the mapping is based on the respective reference unit and reference flow property of the flow.

Properties

@type

Inherited from Entity.@type

flow

The reference to the flow data set.

flowProperty

An optional reference to a flow property of the flow for which the mapping is valid.

unit

An optional reference to a unit of the flow for which the mapping is valid

provider

In case of a product or waste flow a flow mapping can contain a provider which is the process that produces the product or a waste treatment process that consumes the waste flow. This is useful when we want to apply mappings of product and waste flows on databases and link them in the corresponding processes and product systems.
