Interoperable Data for the AI-enabled Supply Chain – ISO 8000-114 .idf
What is ISO 8000-114 Interoperable Data Format?
ISO 8000-114 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for data to be portable data. Portable data is data that can be moved to another system without losing its meaning. When ISO 8000-114 interoperable data format (.idf) is used with data exchanged in supply chain transactions, like purchase orders or product item characteristics/specifications used in RFP/RFQs, transactions can be automated and enabled by AI technology.
The ISO 8000-114 standard sets out:
- fundamental principles and assumptions for portable data;
- the role of semantic encoding in making data portable;
- the syntax of a structured format for portable data;
- the metadata and the reference data to include as part of portable data.
The Standard can be purchased direct from ISO, https://www.iso.org/standard/83104.html, or from your national standards body.
How can I ensure my data is formatted as ISO 8000-114 Interoperable Data?
First we recommend you purchase the ISO Standard direct from ISO https://www.iso.org/standard/83104.html or from your national standards body.
Next you can use our short Guide to help you prepare and then self-declare that your data is formatted to Interoperable Data Format (.idf).
Once you have confirmed that your data formatting conforms to the ISO 8000-114 Standard, you can Self-declare that your data is correctly formatted and use the logo we’ve produced to confirm your use of the Interoperable Data Format with trading partners.

Why ensure data is portable, when compliant with ISO 8000-114 Interoperable Data Format?
Data that is formatted as ISO 8000-114 Interoperable Data Format (.idf) is portable data, meaning it can be seamlessly imported and utilized in any application, in any language or system environment changed.
For example, ISO 8000-114 interoperable data format (.idf) can be used to standardize the formatting of item characteristic data (product specifications/properties) in automated supply chain transactions. Formatting this technical data in the ISO 8000-114 interoperable data format is very straight forward. It consists in making the data portable by mapping attributes and code values to an open technical dictionary and then formatting the data using the JSON syntax.
Remember, when ISO 8000-114 interoperable data format (.idf) is used with data exchanged in supply chain transactions, like purchase orders or product item characteristics/specifications used in RFP/RFQs, transactions can be automated and enabled by AI technology.
