On request, some background.
For buildings, the installation is done by installation companies with 
their own tools and procedures.
Installation can be done in phases by different companies.
Their is at this moment not one general approach or installation 
protocol.

The problem is that the architect and people around have produced 
drawings with cabling and equipment situated at precise physical 
locations in the drawing.
Equipment, cabling etc are identified with numbers ,names, what have 
you.
There are descriptions which discuss the functionality and the relation 
between the equipment.
All this knowledge has to be transferred to the equipment without making 
too many "one of a kind" pieces.
In he "olde times" much was solved by the cabling, that limited the 
control possibilities.
These IP times, anything can reach anything else.
One approach is to store parts of this information into the RD, which 
can be queried by the equipment.

I hope this make the wish for an RD with third party access 
understandable.
