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.

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.
