The invitation

Translucent records from different sources surround one property while their provenance trails and an uncertain near-match remain visible. Open Property Data Association branding appears below the illustration.

What would make property information more useful in your work?

We are sharing an opportunity from the Open Property Data Association (OPDA) for property data providers and people responsible for sourcing or assuring information to help develop the Smart Property Data Trust Framework.

Bring examples that make provenance, quality and limitations easier for other organisations to understand.

You do not need data-modelling expertise. Your professional experience and judgement can help shape the work.

Registration expresses interest, subject to OPDA review, not automatic membership or access.

Professional evidence informs review of the draft specification. This is work in development, not an adopted requirement.

Property records come from sources with different coverage and update cycles. People need to understand what a record describes, where it came from and how it can be used.

Matching two records to an address does not automatically establish that they describe the same thing.

The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) is inviting professional experience to help make these distinctions clear. Bring examples that make provenance, quality and limitations easier for other organisations to understand.

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.

The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) wants 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.
