The Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) Data Dictionary (DD) ensures that each technology system “speaks” the same language. By using consistent terms and data structures as a common standard, DD provides a template that data providers can follow to format the most common fields.
The purpose of this change is to make sharing data and integrating new products/services for our customers as easy as possible while ensuring adherence to the highest standards of data integrity. A benefit of being DD compliant is for those who subscribe to a product that utilizes MLS data, meeting this industry-standard will allow for faster development times and consistency across multiple data providers.
