Three types of actions are identified. “Quick-wins” are actions quick and/or easy to implement. Their cost requirements are low and the resulting impact is immediate. “Opportunities” can be considered as and when the situation at hand allows. “Voluntary” action points are exemplary actions requiring a significant initial investment, with a view to reaching a high impact on the mid- to long-term, combined with value creation for the real estate asset. Voluntary actions are discretionary ones; they are predicated on a value-creation asset management strategy.

The first use case for FIDJI ACT is one willing to improve the energy performance and to lower the carbon emission level of one’s real estate assets. It starts with picking the appropriate impact action points. Then, relevant data points needed to measure actual impact are provided in FIDJI ACT. This standardized combination of action points and their corresponding data points is key to streamlining data collection and to operationalizing the financial and usage monitoring improvements reached at asset level. It is a key component to a continuous digital value chain running along all real estate stakeholders.

New use cases will be added to the FIDJI ACT dictionary in the future.

The FIDJI ACT workgroup is leveraging state of the art knowledge and expertise made available by public bodies and private companies at the European level : Ministries, Environmental Agency (ADEME, etc.), Observatoire de l’Immobilier Durable (OID), EU, etc.

After having built the data dictionary (FIDJI DATA) and the documentary dictionary (FIDJI DOC), widely used and regularly updated for the last 16 years, today it seems necessary to create an API dictionary (FIDJI API).

This new API dictionary is an innovation that is part of the digital continuity of the FIDJI Institute and that resurrects the spirit of the pioneers who had already gathered 16 years ago (2007) to create the first dictionary (FIDJI DATA). At the time, they were about fifty professionals, sometimes competitors, driven by a common will and a collaborative intelligence, working for three years to produce the first tool of digital convergence. All together, they have adopted their “baby” and were able to benefit from this standardized language to exchange reliable information.

In the 21^st century, our real estate industry is in an accelerating ecological and digital evolution. Most information systems are already connected to platforms/Proptechs that implement numerous APIs. Now, implementing APIs is initially driving a dictionary of relevant questions and answers.

All members are invited to join us for free in the workshops. To participate it is however important to register in advance.

A flow is an agnostic data transport, which formalizes “the container” of what it transports, which is “the content”. The container is a normalized “field“. The content is a “data” deemed reliable.

whose uniqueness is engraved in the FIDJI dictionary:
– a name = the field is named precisely
– a content type = what the field must contain as a type of information
– a technical format = the format (date, numbers, text, etc…) of the typical content of the field.

which is a percentage qualifying the uncertainty of the content. This qualification does not concern the container but the content.
In the same way, some fields are correlated to a list of predefined and normalized values in the shared dictionary.

FIDJI DOC offers a three-level tree structure, which is intended to be a national and European standard, already used by several actors working internationally. It facilitates the assimilation of large volumes of documents.

This reference document filling plan is the product of a working group that brought together real estate professionals (Investors, Notaries, Experts, Property Managers) and publishers of EDM/EDM (Electronic Management of information and company Documents).

The FIDJI DOC tree structure is regularly used as a basis for optimizing electronic archiving linked to real estate assets, especially when a new documentary management tool is implemented

The implementation is fast, and the content has already been validated collaboratively by the industry. Of course, afterwards, this database can be enriched internally.

FIDJI DOC is also used in case of re-engineering of the existing documentary classification tool, when the latter has become too labyrinthine, and it has become impossible to reach the documents in a reasonable time..

It is possible to include documents in data exchange flows or to carry only their URL and index key.
