The invitation

Distinct models of a building, a dwelling and a property boundary are aligned before their systems are connected. 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 technology teams and people designing or integrating property services to help develop the Smart Property Data Trust Framework.

Explain where clearer definitions would help services work together and which requirements need to reflect existing products and users.

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.

Products exchange information across systems that often use different labels and assumptions. An apparently simple field can conceal a difference in meaning.

Two systems can both contain a field called property while one means a building and the other means a legal interest.

The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) is inviting professional experience to help make these distinctions clear. Explain where clearer definitions would help services work together and which requirements need to reflect existing products and users.

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.
