Open Repair Data Standard (openrepair.org)

Wasn't sure what was best to post the actual spec lives there: https://standard.openrepair.org/standard.html

The product related info feels a bit anemic. Surprised things like "model" aren't in there.

They specifically mention that:

    Removal of model field due to problems with data collection and quality

It used to publish the `model` values but found that so few repair events collected `model` values and the scant values that did turn up were not very useful. The data is compiled and published on a shoestring budget, so resources are very limited.

The purpose of the data has evolved over years as a response to and a source for various investigations and campaigns that feed into the European Right To Repair campaign. It is also used by individual repair groups and networks to demonstrate their work and achievements - both environmental and social - in order to garner support and funding. The main use of the dataset is as an overview of a glimpse of community repair activity worldwide.

Is this abandoned? No major change since 2024 or so.

The standard doesn't change often but the data is published annually.

Is there already a website to explore the dataset? I am starting out repairing old film cameras and there is documentation and tutorials, but it is very spread out between forums/reddit, how-tos in Flickr albums and a few websites who managed to grab a copy of official maintenance manuals
