Abstract
In a building process that enables a proper flow of product information among the “Users of Information” (Agents), a “Product Information System” is proposed. The system established in connection with a set of criteria involves five subsystems (Thesaurus, Summarized Data, Manufacturers, Compatibility Tables, and Detailed Data) linked with each other. Agents looking for product information can enter the system through the subsystems Thesaurus or Manufacturers, and they can decide on the choice of appropriate products at the first stage (Summarized Data), whereby they can find access to the subsystem Detailed Data afterwards for the detailed information needed. The complete code presents a medium for a common language among the users of product information.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
