Khan Shakil from Department of Transport and Planning: will present three key components of the digital engineering workflow used to streamline asset‑related data processes:
- Model Conversion – Transforming engineering and facility models into open, interoperable formats to improve visibility and accessibility across platforms and stakeholders.
- Model Validator – An automated validation framework that checks model data against predefined data standards, ensuring compliance, completeness, and auditability prior to submission.

This will be a valuable deep dive for anyone interested in metadata management automation or API-driven workflows within the WA data ecosystem.
