In the latest installment of ARC's Smart Cities Podcast, we speak to John Petze of Project Haystack, which is an open smart city initiative aimed at providing common context to the vast amounts of data being generated by IoT enabled applications in the world of smart cities and buildings. You can read the more detailed blog post we did about Project Haystack here. This podcast is both a great summary of the industry issues that led up to the formation of Project Haystack, how the organization is providing common context to data, and how end-users and owner/operators can benefit. We have included the (lightly) edited transcript below. You can now subscribe to the ARC Smart Cities Podcast through Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify.

Project Haystack is excited to announce the publication of the Haystack Connections Magazine Fall 2019 issue – the 6th edition of the magazine. It is a true testament to the collaboration that the Haystack Community is committed to and the accomplishments that have been made this past year and the ones anticipated as we head into 2020.

Haystack Connections reports the news from the Haystack community and provides updates on adoption of the Haystack standard by consultants, end users, manufacturers and software developers, and presents stories demonstrating the success of the community as we work together to make device data easier to use across applications of all types.
