AMEE API / Data Item
Overview
A Data Item encapsulates a single type of entity which contributes to CO2 emissions. Data Items provide the data required to calculate CO2 emissions for Profile Items.
An example Data Item could represent an average sized European petrol car. A Profile can have a Profile Item bound directly to this Data Item specifying that a user has average sized European petrol car which is driven 5000 kilometres per year.
Each Data Item can have several Data Item Values (kwhPerYear, for instance).
