Requirements and framework for Gaia-x-based building permit processes

Abstract

In the construction industry, processes with many participants are often plagued by information loss during communication events. This, in particular, concerns building permit processes. Data ecosystems, such as Gaia- X, are designed to to enable cross-boundary information exchange with minimal impediments while maintaining data sovereignty for participants. Integrating building permit processes into a Gaia-X environment necessitates a framework which considers both requirements of data ecosystems and requirements imposed on building permit processes. This article aims at creating a process automation framework for Gaia-X-based building permit processes through requirement specifications. The framework serves as a basis for adaption to other use cases.
