RealEstateCore
for and by property owners
What are the benefits for the property owners?
Property owners can use RealEstateCore to describe the data of interaction within the buildings that they operate – as well as the management, storage, and sharing of this data. RealEstateCore is a modular ontology, that is, a collection of data schemas that describe concepts and relations that can occur in data that is generated to model buildings and building systems, or that is sourced from such systems.
Having the shared language that these data schemas provide enables property owners to connect their buildings with new services on a large scale, and not have to worry about building- or technology-specific implementation details and formats
