A question from real work
Professional evidence informs review of the draft specification. This is work in development, not an adopted requirement.
A conveyance draws on title records, searches and enquiries from different sources. Important qualifications can become difficult to follow as that information moves between people.
A statement in an enquiry and evidence that supports it play different parts in understanding a property.
At the Open Property Data Association (OPDA), our working groups need professional experience to help make these distinctions clear. Explain the distinctions that matter in a real conveyance and help make definitions useful for exceptions as well as straightforward transactions.

What you can contribute
Your professional experience belongs in the discussion.
You do not need to be a data modeller to help improve property information.
Contributors can explain the language and rules used in their work, bring authorised examples, review draft definitions and challenge assumptions.
At the Open Property Data Association (OPDA), we want the definitions to reflect real work, including difficult cases.
Registering is an expression of interest. OPDA reviews each submission and confirms the next steps. It does not automatically give membership or access.
