Convert Document Chaos into Reusable and Structured Standards.
From Document-Based to Model-Based Standards
Take Control of Your Standard Specifications.
From Static PDFs to Reusable Specification Libraries
Break free from copy-pasting. Extract specifications from documents and turn them into structured, reusable elements ready for use in any Requirements Management (RM) App.
From Manual Work to Smart Structuring
Say goodbye to spreadsheets and scattered files. Laces helps you build libraries of enriched, structured standards without needing technical skills.
From Guesswork to Consistency
Reduce ambiguity and improve traceability. With structured specifications, you gain control over versioning, relationships, and applicability across tools and teams.
Goodbye Document Chaos. Hello Structured Specifications.
Extract and Structure Specifications
Extract specifications from documents and transform them into structured, reusable model elements. Tag them by subject type, classify by object or activity, and organize them in logical hierarchies.
How it works:
- Extract specifications manually or automatically
- Convert text into model elements like requirements, rules, or definitions
- Classify by object type, activity, or process
Enrich and Link Your Standards
Enrich specifications with metadata, attributes, and context. Connect specifications to ontologies, reference libraries, and other standards to unlock powerful filtering, validation, and analysis.
Make your data smarter:
- Add attributes, logic, and relationships
- Link specifications to relevant data, models, or other standards
- Maintain traceability to the source document
Verify, Validate, and Maintain
Ensure specifications meet your quality standards. Laces helps you check for completeness, duplication, and consistency, making verification a repeatable, data-driven process.
Verify your data:
- Detect missing or duplicate specifications
- Ensure data is complete and consistent
- Review specifications systematically before publishing
Publish as Linked Data
Transform structured specifications into machine-readable formats, enabling easy exchange across platforms. Publish your data in RDF or export in formats such as ReqIF or OSLC for integration into any external RM or engineering App.
Distribute without friction:
- Publish specifications using Linked Data
- Export to any format for interoperability
- Integrate directly with RM tools and digital engineering platforms
Apply Across Systems and Projects
Use your structured specifications in Requirements Management, Systems Engineering, BIM models, and compliance workflows. Everyone, from engineers to project managers, has the same knowledge base.
Ready for every context:
- Use in software like IBM DOORS, Polarion, or Jama
- Share across projects and departments
- Enable real-time collaboration and compliance tracking
Structured Specifications, Smarter Results
Managing specifications in scattered documents leads to wasted time, outdated information, and costly errors. Finding the right information, sharing it across teams, or applying it in tools often becomes a manual, error-prone process.
With the Laces Standards Manager, you can now manage libraries of relevant specifications and guidelines in a central location and share them as structured information between different applications. The result?
- Faster retrieval: Find the right specs when you need them
- Smarter links: Relate requirements to systems and standards
- Tool integration: Import/export with all the tools you like
- Reusability: Store once, apply across projects
- Validation: Automatically check for compliance and coverage
For All Professionals Working With Specifications.
Anyone who works with document-based standards, specifications, and requirements. If this leads to repetitive actions, mistakes, and lost time on projects, then this Laces App will significantly increase operational efficiency. Information from documents can be reused and shared with others.
Requirements Managers & Systems Engineers
Extract, enrich, and share reusable specifications to increase accuracy and speed.
Competence and Excellence Centers
Create structured and reusable libraries that align with internal and external standards.
Asset Owners & Clients
Distribute standards in a structured way and make them available in your ecosystem.
Journey towards Structured Specifications.
Level 1: Document-Based
Spreadsheets and PDFs. Easy to create, hard to reuse or validate.
Level 2a: Text-Based Specs
Specifications are stored as individual entries and are searchable but not context-rich.
Level 2b: Enriched Text
Text entries enriched with metadata and linked to subjects like objects or activities.
Level 3: Model-Based Specifications
Fully structured, machine-readable, and interoperable. Maximum control and automation.
