Activities and reference products
Definitions
Search results are grouped by production or consumption activity. An activity may contain multiple datasets. A dataset is a specific record in a database, version and system model. Its reference product is the corresponding product flow.
The same activity does not imply the same dataset. A shared reference product also does not identify a dataset. See the identification rules and quantity levels.
