New Products

Data Dictionary

A new Data Dictionary product is a set of spreadsheets that provide data models for selected "operational" classes in FIBO. The data model includes the class name, and a list of properties that are appropriate for use for that class. This data dictionary can be interpreted as a relational data model, with tables corresponding to classes and fields corresponding to properties.

Process Optimization

Reduced dependency of the production process on proprietary software.
