schema providing a data structure used to describe the properties of objects

NOTE The relevant scope of the data template should be used together with the term “data template”. E.g. a data template for a product should be named “product data template”. A data template for a system should be named “system data template”, etc.

EXAMPLE 1: A data template can be used in an information exchange for a specific purpose for a construction object in the inception, brief, design, production, operation and demolition of facilities.

EXAMPLE 2: A data template provides a view based on an information exchange, e.g. an HVAC system designer is asking for the descriptions of the HVAC products that can be loaded into the design system.

EXAMPLE 3: A data template provides manufacturers a standardized data structure that can be applied to any internal system and/or process of handling product data, e.g. one or several product information management systems (PIM/PDM) can apply or map to this structure to enable machine readability, both internally and with any requests from any software using the same data template structure. An HVAC product manufacturer can then answer the request from any stakeholder including the HVAC system designer.

data structure used to describe the characteristics of construction objects

EXAMPLE 1 A data template provides a view based on an information exchange, e.g. a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system designer is asking for the descriptions of the HVAC products that can be loaded into the design system.

EXAMPLE 2 A data template provides manufacturers a standardized data structure that can be applied to any internal system and/or process of handling product data, e.g. one or several product information management systems can apply or map to this structure to enable machine readability, both internally and with any requests from any software using the same data template structure. An HVAC product manufacturer can then answer the request from any stakeholder including the HVAC system designer.

Note 1 to entry: The relevant scope of the data template can be used together with the term “data template”. E.g. a data template for a product (3.9) can be named “product data template”. A data template for a system (3.13) can be named “system data template”, etc.
Note 2 to entry: A data template can be used in an information exchange for a specific purpose for a construction object in the inception, brief, design, production, operation and demolition of facilities.
