ARCOM is pleased to announce the launch of the public beta of Specifications.org (http://www.specifications.org), a new vertical organic search destination for information for construction specifications.
Specifications.org is built around a curating and crowdsourcing model with the goals of making this information better organized for architects, engineers, specifiers and other building and construction professionals and providing more focused, accurate results than generic search engines. Specifiations.org will also provide the ability to launch several aggressive new technologies designed to organize the vast array of unstructured specification data and resources on the web to make certain project functions easier and more efficient.
The beta site has a strong “backbone” of traditional search and index services that include innovative search results focused on specifications, product data, standards, and discussion forums collected from relevant websites around the internet. The site also provides a touch point to ARCOM’s new knowledge-base initiative focusing on specification-related articles from industry organizations and building product manufacturers.
