Autodesk Datum: Connecting data across the asset lifecycle

What is Autodesk Datum?

Autodesk Datum is a full asset lifecycle management tool. Datum allows users to specify, connect, and validate asset information throughout the project lifecycle. Datum decouples asset information with the models, meaning both non-model and model data are supported.

Datum manages information requirements, data standards, change tracking, and progressive assurance to ensure data is trusted. While Datum is not a data exchange, the tool helps ensure all exchanged data is valid, structured, and can be used, reused, and is reported in a consistent format to meet stakeholder expectations.

Yes. Autodesk Datum includes the Autodesk Datum Class Library capability, which enables users to define and manage both corporate- and project-specific asset information requirements within a granular and rigorous data governance framework. Autodesk Datum Class Library allows you to create corporate class libraries that can be used as the seed to clone project-specific class libraries that are all managed in the same environment and can be aligned with evolving industry standards such as ISO 15926, ISO14224, CFIHOS and ISO 19650. Using Autodesk Datum Class Library you can capture engineering information requirements, define project specifications precisely, manage classification iterations and variants, and map internal customer data to common industry standards.
