Jobs > Specifications
Specifications traditionnally preceed
the development of a new software. It can also designate, more
generally, the precise description of the job to do when somebody
else has to take over to do some more technical work.
Regarding greenhouse gases emissions, for example, specifications might concern :
a software allowing to register and manage the emissions,
