A comparative chart shows sharing patterns of 10 resource types across literature, platforms, and expert opinions in construction.The image presents a comparative chart of 10 shareable resource types across three areas: existing sharing in various industries, current use in construction-related digital platforms, and potential sharing based on expert interviews. The resource types include human resource, robots, space or storage, mobility or logistics, financial capital, tools or machines or materials or devices, data and information, energy, Wi-Fi, and goods. Each resource is accompanied by consistent icons. The chart includes tick marks to show presence across eight named digital platforms: Machines 4 U, R A M Equipment, The Cat Rental Store C a v p o w e r, i seekplant, HiPages, KennardsHire, Coates, and Meh Plant and Equipment Hire. The number of platforms showing each resource is also given. A final column displays how many out of 20 expert interviewees recognised the resource as potentially shareable. Human resource and tools or machines or materials or devices appear most frequently across all areas. Robots and financial capital are not found on any platforms but are identified as potentially shareable by multiple experts. Wi-Fi and goods are least supported.
