datacat

datacat is a property server, which is used to create, edit, and manage taxonomies and dictionaries. Classes, properties, values, and relationships can be stored in the property server. All concepts can be provided in multiple languages and with definitions. The metamodel defined in ISO 12006-3:2016 is used as the data model in the backend. The developed dictionaries can be used in BIM to classify components. The backend can be accessed via a GraphQL interface. The data is stored in a Neo4j database and accessed by the datacat backend.

Software components of the datacat backend

The frontend datacat Editor is only available in German and is a simplified, specialised view on the metamodel.
