A strategic roadmap for the development of digital platforms in construction: The DigiPLACE Strategic Roadmap

With the increase of digitalisation and the spread of digital tools and applications, the Construc-tion sector faces a need for digital platforms and hubs that should allow the development and generalisation of common digital services and data for all stakeholders of the value chain. These digital platforms should provide a fluent communication of semantic data models and instances between computer-based systems, a seamless integration of 3rd-party services and ensure a secured data management, based on agreed standards. The H2020 DigiPLACE project aims at devising a European-level consensus on a Reference Architecture Frame-work for Construction digital platforms and a roadmap for future rapid deployment and use. This paper pre-sents the DigiPLACE strategic roadmap starting. It has been developed as a seven-years program organized around four main topics. The roadmap highlights a multilevel structure that sees the integration of the efforts at different levels to create a digital ecosystem for construction sector.
