🍊Orenge - Open Reporting for Engineering

An open standard for reporting of building and infrastructure engineering design.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to allow engineering software to share information between them and to allow more straightforward compilation and review of design reports.

Principles

1. Be readable in raw format.
2. Allow software to extract information efficiently from the reports.
3. Allow links between different calculations.
4. Allow software to save all file information into report.

File format

Files written with the Orenge standard are to have the file extension .orenge. A compiled report containing multiple .orenge files is to have the file extension .corenge.

Dependencies

Uses the following technologies and specifications:

Daya

• YAML - used for identifying data in header.

Typography

• Obsidian Markdown specification
• CommonMark
• MathJax

Diagramming

• Mermaid
• Engineering specific diagramming software (to be implemented as separate specification).

Charts

• Chart.js

Roadmap

1. Release standard.
2. Create libraries for extracting information from documents.
3. Create tool for viewing and modifying documents.
