Roadblock #2
The information itself. that contained in product data templates is only valuable to the manufacturers that populate it, COBie has little or no value to the actual maintainer (detach yourself from the mantra and actually ask a spanner wielder rather than a manager or academic) – Information costs to gather, manage and disseminate, so to make this worthwhile each piece needs to be valuable to someone. This definitive data dictionary that defines what is valuable to the end users throughout the lifecycle does not exist. This needs to be rectified!! (otherwise everything else is pointless!)
