07 / 07 · THE KNOWLEDGE AND EVIDENCE CONTEXT

Files.

Documents, media, knowledge and evidence with version control and meaningful relationships.

WHAT THIS PERSPECTIVE DOES

The right information.
In the right context.

Files manages content, metadata, permissions and versions. Documents are connected to work, assets, people and projects but retain one managed source of truth.

One underlying identity. Direct typed relationships. Permissions checked in the user's active context.

Core functional scope

HOW THE DATA CONNECTS

Not isolated records.
Relationships with meaning.

Typed relationship examples for understanding the information model. They are not generated from a running customer database.

Files.Documentevidence_for →Work.Inspection
Files.Documentdescribes →Assets.PhysicalAsset
Files.FileAssetbelongs_to →Work.Project
Files.Documentapproved_by →People.Person
WHY IT WORKS THIS WAY

An IFC model, PDF or spreadsheet is a managed file. The business object it describes remains a separate typed record so changing file versions does not erase the real-world object identity.
