AIA Publishes 2007 Digital Practice Documents
The digital age allows for the rapid dissemination of information, including project correspondence and other documents such as the Architect’s Instruments of Service. This ease of dissemination, and the potential for easy document alteration, has led to concerns about protection of intellectual property rights and liability for the subsequent misuse of transmitted data. To address those concerns, the AIA published two new documents, C106™–2007, Digital Data Licensing Agreement, and E201™–2007, Digital Data Protocol Exhibit. These new documents address ownership rights and allow project participants to establish protocols for the transmission of digital data. For more information on these new documents and their key terms and features, visit the AIA Contract Documents Web site on AIA.org.
