Origin Support

Our Mission.
Our mission is to enable regenerative, high-performance buildings by providing access to unbiased, comprehensive and accurate material information. Origin provides the construction industry with an ecosystem that enables information exchange between Manufacturers and Reporting Bodies (Data Owners) and A+D, consultants and specifiers (Data Users). Built as a connected data hub, Origin collects material information directly from Data Owners, normalizes it, and makes it available to Data Users, and also to 3rd party tools and services. By connecting directly to data sources, Origin receives updates from the data source helping to reduce data management while keeping data current. As Origin connects to each data source, we move one step closer to eliminating ‘dead’, out-of-date data. By connecting to data sources, Origin also significantly reduces data maintenance costs enabling all Users to benefit from free usage of all basic features.

Origin is built to connect Data Owners, Data Users, and 3rd Party platforms and tools. Origin provides API Services to enable data flow between Data Exchange Partners. Usage of data from Origin is defined below and includes limits. These limits are not meant to restrict competition and have been created both for technical reasons and to create a level playing field. Our API Services are further described below. This document establishes the Guiding Principles, upon which Origin is built, and the Terms & Conditions for use of Origin’s services.

A Connected Solution. 
Origin was built from need: good material information is hard to find. Construction industry data sources are generally fragmented and inconsistent. Material information requirements vary per project type, building code, green building standard, and personal preference. The diversity of requirements exponentially multiplies the number of requests which Manufacturers and Reporting Bodies receive, where they provide their information, and how it is provided. It is difficult (and unrealistic) for Manufacturers and Reporting Bodies to respond to all industry requests and continually send updates to those who request information. Origin enables the diversity of these requests to be answered without fragmenting material information. Data Owners can use Origin directly or connect their preferred data management platforms to Origin. Once a Data Owner’s data is on Origin, it can be shared with any connected Data Exchange Partners, at the Data Owner’s sole discretion. This process and overall ecosystem helps streamline Data Owners’ content management efforts while ensuring material information remains relevant for Data Exchange Partners.

Facts are Free.
As a core principle, facts are free on Origin. Manufacturers and Reporting Bodies are not charged to add or connect their product data to Origin. Similarly, Origin users and Data Exchange Partners are not charged to search and view this data. Facts are provided for free to remove bias and to ensure the entire industry can participate. Origin will provide Data Owners with aggregate usage statistics and analytics to ensure that material information continues to flow. By removing paywalls and providing aggregate feedback, we are incrementally building collective demand for living data.

Origin makes money from optional subscriptions to premium analytics packages, premium features and API Services which exceed the free limits defined below. These optional fee-based services are not covered in the below Terms and Conditions. Importantly, these optional packages do not impact access to data and facts - facts will always be free on Origin.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Origin’s development and evolution are continually guided by the following principles:

• Material information must be free to provide and access. 
• Paywalls restrict use, reducing market feedback - the driver which keeps information relevant and up-to-date.
• Data Owners must be able to provide their data without paying fees. Paying to provide data reduces participation and skews data integrity. 
• Data Users including, Architects, Designers, Specifiers, Engineers and Consultants must be able to freely access published data. Paying to access published data limits its use, market feedback and impact. 
• Chains of Custody must be built and maintained.
• Origin Users and Data Exchange Partners must have visibility to the sources of data. 
• Data Owners must be recognized for the data they provide. 
• Active Feedback Loops must be maintained and shared with Data Owners. 
• Material data will only remain up-to-date if Data Owners know that their data is used. 
• The more usage insights a Data Owner receives, the more likely its data will remain relevant for Data Users.  

DEFINITIONS

API Services enable data exchange between Origin and Data User applications. Both Import and Export API Services are available to Data Exchange Partners. Access to Our API Services is provided at Our sole discretion. Data Exchange Partners can exchange data with Origin using any of the following ways:

• Data is pulled from Origin by a Data Exchange Partner application;
• Data is pushed to Origin by a Data Exchange Partner application;
• Data is pulled from a Data Exchange Partner application by Origin;
• Data is pushed to a Data Exchange Partner application by Origin.

 
Connected Data related import/export services
Connected Data related API services provide synchronous, on-demand data exchange allowing Data Exchange Partners to import/export a single aggregated Entity per API call. Connected Data related API Services also provide Data Exchange Partners with access to search related services and search results.
 
Disconnected Data related import/export services
Disconnected Data related API Services provide asynchronous data exchange. Disconnected Data related API Services allow Data Exchange Partners to import/export multiple aggregated Entities per API call.

Building Standard Software refers to software applications which support building codes and green building programs. Examples include, but are not limited to, LEED Online and the WELL Workstation.
