What is PAS 14191 about?

PAS 14191 complements ISO 23386 by requiring an open but actively managed environment for industry collaboration.
NOTE: PAS 14191 covers the development, approval and management of structured information within construction data dictionaries, such as data templates. It does not cover data dictionary ontologies or taxonomies.
Who is PAS 14191 for?
PAS 14191 on management and operation of interconnected construction data dictionaries can be used by anyone looking for the standardized flow of digital information using interconnected construction data dictionaries
Why should you use PAS 14191?
To facilitate information exchange in a digital manner, each project participant needs to be able to understand the incoming information and format outgoing information in a way that is understandable by all recipients, PAS 14191 helps in solving this issue by providing a standardized method for the digital flow of information.
Data dictionaries are required to create a common understanding of terms and the format in which they are delivered, PAS 14191 has a section of data dictionaries to facilitate this understanding.
NOTE: This PAS can be used for any construction data dictionaries, though it has been developed primarily to cover construction products data dictionaries. It’s intended for UK operations but can be used elsewhere.
