PAS 14191:2020

This standard PAS 14191:2020 Built environment. Management and operation of interconnected construction data dictionaries. Specification is classified in these ICS categories:

• 01.040.91 Construction materials and building (Vocabularies)

This Publicly Available Specification (PAS) specifies the requirements for a management process for the creation, acceptance, distribution, interoperability and maintenance of structured information within construction data dictionaries for the built environment.

It 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.

This PAS is intended for UK operation but can be used elsewhere.

This PAS complements BS EN ISO 23386 by requiring an open but actively managed environment for industry collaboration.

NOTE 1 BS EN ISO 23386 covers the international, general requirements for interconnected data dictionaries; this PAS adds to those concepts with a series of actionable steps and processes to fulfil those requirements.

NOTE 2 This PAS can be used for any construction data dictionaries, though it has been developed primarily to cover construction products data dictionaries.
