status: Under Development
abstract: The PINK Annotation Schema provides the semantic basis for SSbD. The PINK Annotation Schema expands on the annotation schema provided by tripper, which again expands on the DCAT-AP. A reference documentation of terms reused from standard W3C vocabularies can be found https://pink-project.github.io/PINK-annotation-schema/widoco-reused-terms/index-en.html.

economic

bibliographicCitation: Caldeira et al. JRC Technical Report. Sage and Sustainable by Design chemicals and materials. EU Science Hub. doi:10.2760/487955. 2022
definition: Aspects related to techno-economic feasibility, to operational costs, etc.
scope note: Note this class redefined in PR https://github.com/PINK-project/PINK-annotation-schema/pull/15
skope note: There are important considerations to be made in the context of SSbD such as the 'availability' of raw materials, as chemicals/materials cannot be declared SSbD if the raw materials to produce them are not renewable or are (very) scarce and extracted and processed in an unsustainable manner. Economic aspects play a role when there is a need to rank chemicals and materials based on SSbD criteria (even if they are not SSbD). However, mainly externalities consideration is at stake in a sustainability framework like the SSbD one.

definition: Human helth and environmental safety aspects of chemicals and materials.
scope note: Note this class redefined in PR https://github.com/PINK-project/PINK-annotation-schema/pull/15
skope note: In the context of chemicals assessment, safety could be referring to a certain condition where a stressor (e.g. a chemical) is unlikely to cause any adverse effect to a receptor (e.g. humans and other organisms) (more related to intrinsic hazard properties of the stressor) or where a receptor is protected from risk (more related to control measures or mechanisms to minimise exposure to the stressor). In any case, the term safe involves receptors, and with that generally also requires the consideration of the contact (i.e. exposure) between stressors and receptors as addressed in a risk assessment context.
