Common Data Environments & ISO 19650

What a CDE actually is, what ISO 19650 requires, and where most existing CDEs fall short.

ISO 19650 defines a Common Data Environment as the agreed source of information for a project or asset, the single place where every information container is managed, versioned and made discoverable. These articles cover what that means in practice, what the standard actually requires, and why structured data is the silent failure mode of most existing CDEs.
