DataFusr

Detailed documentation about the DataFusr platform. For a quick overview and setup steps, see Getting Started.

Overview

DataFusr is a digital collaboration framework created by Haskoning. It provides the infrastructure to exchange data in real-time between different software packages, enabling seamless collaboration between multiple design and engineering disciplines on a project.

Architecture

The central concept on which DataFusr depends is the Stream — a package of data in JSON format that can be easily sent over the internet. The data in this stream is formatted in a generic and extendable open standard. DataFusr takes care of serializing and deserializing this data so that your software can understand it immediately.

Ecosystem

DataFusr is built around Speckle, an open-source platform for the exchange of 3D data. Haskoning uses a proprietary Speckle server to exchange data in projects.

On top of Speckle, each discipline develops their own tooling — facilitating the exchange of domain-specific models between the software packages used by that domain. This tooling is tailored to Haskoning workflows and developed by domain-specific Hackathon teams.
