Awesome! Yes I understand BOLTS seems primarily for standardised technical specs, but I wonder if the scope could be extended to include not just design codes but supplier catalogues. For example in Australia there is Caroma which supplies a lot of sanitary fixtures and is a pretty good "goto" for all architects. Similarly there are wall partition catalogues by Gyprock which are heavily used. Yes it's not a "DIN" or "ISO" but in Australia we don't have "HEA/HEB/etc" even for steel profiles, we just have "Bluescope" the monopoly supplier
so in practice it is almost equivalent.
If you're online would love to catch up on
https://osarch.org/chat for live chat or any other platform you prefer, I've got quite a few questions about how the code is organised.
