Standards Overview
7-Layer Technical Standards Stack
The framework uses a layered architecture where each layer has a specific, non-overlapping responsibility. No single existing standard covers the full pipeline — the stack was assembled to fill real gaps in LATAM climate data governance.
| # | Layer | Standards | Purpose | CTH Contribution / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Identity | W3C DID 1.1 + cth:FPICCredential | Who is acting | CTH-original: FPICCredential as W3C VC |
| 2 | Credential Format | W3C VC 2.0 (BBS+) + UNTP DTE/DCC + OID4VP | What is asserted | UNTP maps directly to EUDR Article 9 |
| 3 | Provenance & Quality | W3C PROV-O + ISO 8000-220:2025 + cth:FieldDataQuality SHACL | How was it measured | CTH-original: EUDR GPS precision + Andean IoT calibration rules |
| 4 | Governance Ledger | Append-only Postgres + rolling SHA-256 + KERI anchoring | What decisions were made | 5-year persistence; KERI for cross-org verifiability |
| 5 | Policy & Enforcement | ODRL + W3C DPV 2.0 + OPA (ODRE pattern) + SHACL | What is allowed | ODRE = ODRL policy evaluated by OPA at runtime |
| 6 | Discovery & AI Access | W3C DCAT v3 + OpenAPI 3.1 + llms.txt + JSON-LD context | How to find and query | llms.txt enables direct agent access without scraping |
| 7 | Compliance Outputs | EUDR DDS, CSRD ESRS E1/E4, CBAM, ISSB IFRS S2, Art.6 | What gets reported | One data pipeline → five regulatory outputs |
CTH-Original Contributions
Two standards were created by CTH because no existing specification covers these requirements for LATAM:
cth:FPICCredential
Free Prior and Informed Consent as a W3C Verifiable Credential. The community holds the signing key — not CTH, not the coffee buyer. Revocation is handled by the community. No existing VC type covers FPIC for indigenous territorial data in Colombia.

cth:FieldDataQuality SHACL Profile
SHACL validation shapes for EUDR-specific GPS precision (≥6 decimal places), IDEAM deforestation data vintage (≤24 months), IoT sensor calibration (≤180 days), and Andean GPS lock wait time (≥90 seconds per polygon vertex). ISO 8000-220 covers data quality generically — none of these field-specific thresholds exist in any standard.

ℹ️ The Article 6 / EUDR shared evidence layer is the key commercial innovation: the same UNTP Digital Traceability Event (DTE) that proves deforestation-free status for EUDR serves as the shared evidence layer for an Article 6.4 carbon credit. Two Digital Conformity Credentials (EUDR DDS + carbon credit) against one DTE.
