Principle 02 of 05
Provider-neutral
Sources selected on rights, quality, value and economics.
What this means
Why it matters
No single source is assumed to be available, complete or permanent. Property Spine selects and combines approved sources on rights, quality, value and economics, and can change sources without breaking the record.
In practice
Workflow implications
Every field carries its source, so contributions can be compared and assessed.
No dataset is presented as guaranteed.
Participation never requires exclusivity or lock-in.
The layer
How this shapes Property Spine
Property Spine is infrastructure, not a data vendor. Neutrality protects every participant and keeps the architecture durable as the source landscape changes.
