Lesson 2: Visual Updates to Highlight Data Quality
Visual Updates to Highlight Data Quality
Published HPDS are Now Full Color.
- Before, a manufacturer could fill in a blank HPD and simply email it to who asked for it or publish it on their website.
- In 2016, the HPD Public Repository became the single, authoritative source of all published HPDs, which could be connected to other material libraries through an API.
- Now in v2.3, unpublished or draft HPDs are further distinguished through a “DRAFT” watermark on the document, as well as a gray color.
- A published HPD will contain the recognized orange-and-blue color.
Third- Party Verified Logo
- A “Third-Party Verified” logo with a blue checkmark was added to all HPDs that meet the HPDC’s rigorous third-party verification program.
- This promotes the program, in which independent verifiers ensure that HPDs are compliant with the HPD Open Standard.
- The third-party verified radio button at the bottom of section 1 will remain.
Indicators for Characterized, Screened, Identified.
- These indicators have been simplified to show the “top-level” quality indicators for project teams.
- These indicators show that the HPD is complete and disclosed.
- Notation around the Special Conditions (SC) has been removed.
