The Digital Supply Chain: Data Driven Collaboration

This whitepaper is produced by the Digital Supply Chains in the Built Environment (DSCiBE) workgroup. The initiative brings together major industry experts, such as GS1, buildingSMART, Cobuilder, IBM, etc., who are implementing together standard-based processes for the digital exchange of product data. The ultimate goal – to deliver value to the end-user by creating conditions for seamless and standardised digital workflows.
