Data Declaration of Independence

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the building industry to reinvent itself in order to sustain a lasting harmony between nature and humanity and create a clear path to slowing down and reversing the impact we have on the environment, we seek a path to business process change that improves efficiency and reduces waste through a declaration supporting Open Standards.

We hold this path to be self evident, all data should be equally accessible.

When equally accessible, data can be used to enhance knowledge-based decision making, integrate data across many industries, increase the collective knowledge of civilization and support better use of our shared planet to promote the right of all people to a sustainable, healthy life on Earth.
​
We endorse and implore the alliance of building industry organizations to support Information Independence regardless of country, industry name or standard being used. The time is now to come together in a united way that enables us to meet these objectives.
