UMIP

Platform

One platform. Three foundational layers.Governed by GIIS™.

UMIP is the identity platform for physical infrastructure.

It provides a persistent reference through which supported systems, organizations, and industries can reference the same physical structure consistently.

Identity first. Continuity follows. Interoperability by design.

The Foundation

Infrastructure already has data.What it lacks is persistent identity.

The built world is represented across thousands of systems.

  1. Insurance platforms.

  2. Government records.

  3. GIS.

  4. BIM.

  5. Facilities systems.

  6. Lending platforms.

  7. Construction technology.

  8. Digital twins.

  9. Enterprise applications.

  10. Artificial intelligence.

Each system can maintain its own identifiers, records, and operating environment.

UMIP establishes that identity layer.

PIID™ provides the persistent structure reference between them.

Platform Architecture

Identity is established once.Everything else connects around it.

Core Identity Layer

PIID™

The persistent identity for physical infrastructure.

Foundation Layer

Physical Infrastructure

The physical world organizations build, operate, finance, insure, regulate, maintain, and depend on.

Governed by GIIS™

GIIS™, the Global Infrastructure Identity Standard, provides the governance framework supporting Persistent Infrastructure Identity.

Physical Infrastructure

Start with the physical asset itself.

Before there is an insurance policy, loan, permit, BIM model, maintenance record, GIS object, or digital twin, there is a physical structure.

UMIP begins there.

  1. Not with the transaction.

  2. Not with the software record.

  3. Not with the address.

  4. Not with the parcel.

With the physical structure itself.

The Reference Layer

Existing identifiers remain.PIID™ provides the persistent reference.

  1. An address describes location.

  2. A parcel identifies land.

  3. Coordinates identify position.

  4. Building footprints describe geometry.

  5. Enterprise identifiers identify records within individual systems.

PIID™ serves a different role. It persistently identifies the physical structure itself.

Different identifiers. Same physical structure. One persistent identity.

Interoperability

Shared identity across enterprise systems.

An insurer may reference a policy. A government system may reference a parcel. A facilities platform may reference an internal building number. A BIM environment may reference a model. A lender may reference collateral through another identifier. An AI system may receive several representations of the same structure.

PIID™ provides a persistent reference through which supported environments can resolve those representations to the same physical structure.

One persistent reference across systems.

Interoperability Without Centralization

The world does not need one infrastructure database.

UMIP is not designed to replace the systems organizations already use.

GIS can remain GIS. CMMS can remain CMMS. BIM can remain BIM. Insurance, government, and lending systems can retain their own records. Data providers can retain their own data.

Connection does not require centralization.

How the Platform Works

From physical structure to connected infrastructure intelligence.

  1. Physical Structure

    Begin with the real asset.

  2. PIID™

    Establish persistent structure identity.

  3. Lifecycle™

    Maintain continuity around supported events, relationships, and change.

  4. UMIP Registry™

    Maintain identity, verification context, lineage, and supported registry relationships.

  5. Interoperability

    Allow supported systems to reference the same physical structure consistently.

  6. Infrastructure Intelligence

    Create stronger context for people, enterprise systems, and artificial intelligence.

Identity → Continuity → Interoperability → Intelligence

Built for Enterprise

Persistent identity delivered where systems already operate.

UMIP enterprise products provide structured access to the identity layer.

  1. PIID Resolve™

    Reference → Resolve → Verify → PIID™

    Resolve supported property, spatial, and source references to persistent structure identity.

    Explore PIID Resolve™

Both are designed for structured enterprise integration and machine readable delivery.

Built for AI

Intelligent systems need persistent physical context.

Artificial intelligence can analyze infrastructure information across documents, property data, imagery, and enterprise systems.

But intelligence becomes more useful when systems can consistently determine which physical structure that information describes.

PIID™ provides that persistent reference.

Persistent identity creates persistent machine context.

Governed by GIIS™

Identity requires rules.

GIIS™, the Global Infrastructure Identity Standard, provides the governance framework supporting Persistent Infrastructure Identity.

It establishes the principles supporting identity creation, maintenance, verification, continuity, and interoperability across systems and time.

Identity establishes the reference. Governance protects its continuity.

Platform Layers

Every layer answers a question.

  1. PIID™

    Identity

    Which physical structure is this?

  2. Lifecycle™

    Continuity

    What supported events and relationships remain connected to it through time?

  3. UMIP Registry™

    Identity Authority

    How is that persistent identity maintained, verified, and referenced?

  4. GIIS™

    Governance

    What rules protect the consistency and continuity of the identity system?

At Scale

A persistent identity layer for the built world.

UMIP provides the identity foundation through which supported information can become more interoperable, continuous, and intelligible.

One physical world. Many systems. One persistent identity layer.

UMIP

The Identity Layer for Infrastructure.™

PIID™ establishes persistent structure identity.

Lifecycle™ maintains continuity around it.

UMIP Registry™ maintains the identity and supported registry context.

GIIS™ governs the framework.

Together, they form the Unified Modular Infrastructure Platform.

The future of infrastructure data will be built on PIID™.
