Turn your product data into an asset, ready for digital construction.
Structured, standards-referenced data built from the documents you already have, ready for your Digital DoPC, Digital Product Passport and BIM, and reusable for every requirement that follows.

A limited number of manufacturers, at no cost during the research phase.
You already have the data. The problem is how it is stored.
Every one of these holds product properties. None of them lets another system read those properties without a human in the middle.

Why the data dictionary layer decides everything downstream
A passport without data dictionary references is a document. With them, it is data that any system can read without being told what the fields mean.
“Reaction to fire” in your catalogue, “Resistência ao fogo” in a Portuguese specification and “Fire rating” in a customer's procurement system are three different things to a machine. A data dictionary reference is a URI that resolves to one definition, one data type and one unit, so all three are recognised as the same property.
EN 18223 requires exactly this: “a common information model allowing for the implementation of data dictionary systems.”

The reference resolves to a single definition, so a machine recognises all three as the same property.
What Dictagon does
01
Assess
We read your existing DoPs, EPDs and datasheets and establish what is declared today, property by property.
02
Structure
Free text becomes typed values: a number, a unit, an enumeration, a class — the form a system can act on.
03
Reference
Every declared value gets a data dictionary reference, a URI from PDTs.pt that means the same thing in every system.
04
Validate
Values are checked against the harmonised standard for the product family, and anything without a dictionary entry is reported as a gap, never invented.
05
Deliver
One referenced dataset, issued as a digital DoPC, a Digital Product Passport (DPP), a BIM property set and a read API.
One foundation, many outputs
The same referenced dataset, issued in the form each audience needs.
Digital DoPC
A machine-readable Declaration of Performance and Conformity, regenerated when the standard publishes.
