Establishing “digitally sustainable” asset registers for construction data.
There is a lot to do about Material & Building Passports in the industry. But we are all looking for a way where to start . This article dives into the complex & technical way of making sure your data is structured & used in a future proof manner. Because we will need the data in these passports for a long time. Neanex makes sure you as an organisation doe not need to bother with this complexity in the back, but you can use the Neanex tooling to make sure you are future proof at all time.
Demonstrating the application of mature Linked Data standards for the creation and exchange of material passports
The concept of material passports for constructions is gaining more and more traction in the AEC industry to reach evermore important circularity targets.
At the same time, organizations are wondering how to efficiently create and exchange “digitally sustainable” material passports in practice.
A previous news article on material passports elaborated on the need for reusable data. Together with Semmtech, the relevance of digital twins for physical assets was illustrated conceptually and illustrated on a high level in a separate white paper. More recently, Neanex was involved with the last revision of the CB23 guideline on material passports and in particular the part on data interoperability. The consensus of the group was that standardized data exchanges should be based on mature and widely applied standards, such as Linked Data.
Conclusion is that the complexity of future proof data management for building & material passports should be inherent in the tooling & applications that you as a company are using. Neanex & Semmtech provide this tooling that have a user friendly interface and future proof data management mechanism under the hood.

Neanex has provided a whitepaper on the subject of material passports.
We cover three parts in this publication:
- First, we provide definitions for material passports and related concepts.
- Following, the importance of sharing and reusing material passports in a “digitally sustainable” manner is described, together with the role of standardized Linked Data technologies to reach this goal.
- Finally, we demonstrate through an example with our own software applications how such standard Linked Data technologies can be applied in practice by governments, asset owners and contractors for the creation and exchange of material passports.
