# Open Traceability manifest — InVEST (Natural Capital Project) # # Curated evidence set for assessing the traceability of InVEST, the open-source # ecosystem-service modelling toolset. Run it with: # # python ota.py --manifest examples/invest-open-traceability.yml --runs 3 # # Each dimension lists the URLs that constitute the evidence for the claim, so every # run uses the same bundle (reproducible) and includes artifacts a crawl of the repo # alone would miss (sample data on Bitbucket, the hosted User Guide, the forum). # Stage 6 (Open Linkage) has no section: this file *is* the linkage artifact. claim: > InVEST is an open-source toolset that maps and values ecosystem services (carbon storage, water yield, pollination, coastal protection, and more) to support environmental decision-making, with model outputs intended to be credible and reproducible. claim_url: https://github.com/natcap/invest # Namespace: the organization / project home behind the claim.
