A Product (LCA) is a modeled footprint with a bill of materials - its Inputs point to Elements (Materials, Energy, Transport, or Process), to sub-Products, or to Datasets directly. A Material is one kind of Element; it gets its impacts by referencing a Dataset directly rather than modeling its own BOM. Datasets are the original source of impact data. See Data Model for the full picture.

Data Quality

Both of these follow the Pathfinder framework, with some additional fields on the dataQualityIndicators object. The dataQualityIndicators object contains information about the quality of the material.
The dataQualityRating is a number from 1 to 3 that represents the quality of the material (1 being the best).

Footprint

The footprint.CO2e object holds the CO2e values for the Product / Material.
