Introduction

TIDAS (TIangong DAta System) is an open-source data system built on JSON, providing unified, standardized, and extensible foundational support for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon footprint management. It consists of three core modules: "Methodology, Format Specifications, and Data Resources," and through auxiliary tools and integration capabilities, enables intelligent, trustworthy, and automated data management.

🧱 Core System Architecture Modules​

TIDAS architecture consists of three components:

📖 Methodology​

🧾 Data Format​

  • TIDAS Data Structure
    Implements data structure validation based on JSON and JSON Schema, adaptable to new architectures like AI, data spaces and blockchain.

📦 Data Resources​

  • Reference Data Package
    Provides open-source reference database supporting data traceability, consistency and reliability.

🛠 Auxiliary Tools​

The TIDAS Tools consists of auxiliary components developed around the three core modules, facilitating data construction, format interoperability and export operations between developers and systems.

  • 🧪 validate: Data validation tool - checks data structure, standardization and completeness
  • 🔄 convert: Format converter - enables lossless bidirectional conversion between TIDAS and eILCD
  • 📤 export: Data package publishing tool - packages compliant data into standard ZIP format for platform delivery and archiving

🔗 Technical Integration & Extension Capabilities​

TIDAS has built various integration solutions for practical scenarios, supporting trusted computing and data interoperability:

  • 🔐 Permission Control: Implements data access control and authorization mechanisms for multi-party collaboration
  • 🧠 Privacy Computing: Achieves 'data available but invisible' through secure multi-party computation and federated learning
  • 🔗 Blockchain Integration: Ensures data immutability and distributed verification
  • 🤖 AI Integration (MCP Service): Integrates MCP AI Server for data semantic analysis, completion and intelligent validation

🌐 Industrial Implementation Platform: TianGong LCA Platform​

  • TianGong Platform is the first open-source platform based on TIDAS architecture, implementing complete LCA lifecycle management from data modeling to trusted delivery.

📂 Featured Use Cases​

  • 🔗 TIDAS + AntChain: Builds enterprise-level blockchain light node verification framework
  • 🔧 TIDAS + Haike Data: Supports dual-channel integration via TIDAS and API for model interaction and data review
