Inheritance
Passing on of field contents from a parent dataset to a child dataset. Only geographical inheritance is allowed in the ecoinvent version 3 database, i.e. some regional datasets (such as Brazilian soybean production) might be modelled as a child dataset of the global dataset.
When a value is changed in the parent dataset it is automatically changed in the child dataset as well.
