Have you ever shared geotechnical data with a colleague only to hear "I can't open this file" or "The values don't make sense"? These common frustrations stem from inconsistent data formatting and structure. This validation framework tackles these issues by checking your DIGGS files at three increasingly sophisticated levels.

CodeType properties and code list dictionaries serve to manage controlled vocabularies and are foundational elements of the DIGGS standard. To improve both interoperability and flexibility across geotechnical data exchange, the DIGGS Team is pleased to announce updated guidelines for referencing code list dictionaries in DIGGS instances. These changes address key feedback from the 2025 DIGGS Code Jam Challenge.
