It really works! Automated, structured data archiving for public authorities according to the eGovernment standard eCH-0160.
In Switzerland, public institutions are required to structure their data based on the eCH-0160 archival delivery interface and submit it to the state archive.

We’re excited that the Thurgau Cantonal Office of Structural Engineering and the Office for Informatics Thurgau have commissioned ioLabs to connect their Microsoft SharePoint-based building documentation to the state archive using the eCH-0160 standard. We have now released the developed interface as an open-source solution package on GitHub.
This development project was implemented with the professional support of Nicolas Graf, owner and managing director of GRAF FORM GMBH.
Nicolas Graf supports the Thurgau Cantonal Office of Structural Engineering, Canton of Thurgau in their digital transformation and initiates, coordinates and implements all necessary measures. ioLabs acts as an innovative technology partner.
Take the opportunity to support the development of this important Swiss solution. We look forward to contributions from the open-source community! (opensource.construction)
