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.
