Create a new application for dynamic data on buildings and their environment on top of an interoperable, accessible, and ownerless connector. The app should allow for extensive bottom-up adoption of the Unique Object Identifier by all relevant stakeholders.

The data landscape of the building industry and its public and private stakeholders is fragmented, siloed and ineffective. The need for trusted, federated real-time data is rising. Data is easily lost, must be copied by hand and not readily available, leading to high costs for risk management and failure costs of  €5 billion a year in NL alone.

Neither the market nor government have yet managed to transcend their own interests. A 21st-century national data infrastructure should ensure frictionless, permissioned exchange of data across organizational borders, public or private. Every ecosystem player should be able to contribute to solving shared and societal challenges.

We currently lack a standard connector to identify buildings and parts of buildings. The Unique Object Identifier should function like the familiar barcode used in many fields.
