Data Flow

Here, we show examples of how data could flow using the open standard. The eight flow diagrams below compliment each other to build a complete picture.

Shared responsiblity

When viewing the flows below be aware that no single individual and/or organisation is responsible for the entire data capture. It is the intent of OSTFD that experts in their part of the value chain are repsonsible for it’s adherence to the data.

The flow

OSTFD has been designed to allow information to flow from base materials all the way through to a load. Below you can see how these are connected.
